Giving of oneself – whether it is time, talent or resources – is crucial to making the world in which we live a better place. While all bar associations, including REBA and its predecessor, the Massachusetts Conveyancers Association, have long recognized and honored leaders in our profession, lawyers who serve and care for communities and constituencies outside of the legal field are sometimes overlooked. 

Discerning a need to honor members contributing to their communities outside of the legal profession, the Association’s Board of Directors established the Denis Maguire Award for Community Service, which recognizes outstanding REBA members, who, in the estimation of the Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors, have demonstrated an exemplary sense of caring, initiative and ingenuity, through their volunteer endeavors.
