WHAV, Francis J. Bevilacqua III of Bevilacqua Builds, Kristin M. Murphy of Bradford Country Club and Realtor Michael Joy will be receiving top honors of the Greater Haverhill Chamber of Commerce when the organization celebrates its 109th Annual Dinner and Wine Tasting.
WHAV, to be represented by President and CEO Tim Coco and “Win for Breakfast” host Win Damon, is receiving the Charles E. Billups Award, the Chamber’s most prestigious honor since 1985. Bevilacqua will be honored with the Jerry Loy Outstanding Director Award, Murphy for Community Leadership and Joy for Chamber Service.
“The awarding of the Charles E. Billups Award has special significance for me,” said Coco. Billups was the epitome of public service, not only holding leadership roles at Essex County Gas Co. for 35 years, retiring as chairman of the board, but helping the Chamber as a director, president and treasurer during its most vulnerable time; serving as a trustee of Bradford College, mentoring youth at the Lone Tree Council of the Boy Scouts of America; and fundraising for the former Glynn Memorial Nursing Home and Winnekenni Castle, among many others.”
The Greater Haverhill Chamber of Commerce’s 109th Annual Dinner and Wine Tasting takes place Thursday, June 5, from 5:30-9:30 p.m., at Haverhill Country Club, 58 Brickett Lane, Haverhill. Entertainment will be provided by disc jockey Ron Carpenito. Admission is $125 each for Chamber members and $135 each for nonmembers and may be reserved online at HaverhillChamber.com.
