Christine Cassidy

Title: Chief communications officer
Company: Fallon Health
Located: Worcester
Residence: Lancaster
College: Becker College

As Cassidy has climbed the ranks at Fallon, she’s used her skill, hard work and connections not just at the insurer but at her alma mater, Becker College, and a range of city organizations.

She chairs Becker’s board of trustees and serves or has served on the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce, the United Way of Central Massachusetts, Girls Inc., YWCA Central Massachusetts, the Boys & Girls Club of Worcester, Be Like Brit, the Worcester County Food Bank, Girl Scouts of Central & Western Massachusetts, and Working for Worcester. Her work days are spent leading Fallon’s communications, marketing, brand management, and public, community and government relations. But it's on those boards where Cassidy really makes her impact. She takes special pride as a former Girl Scout in helping young girls, and in 2017 she earned the Katharine F. Erskine Award from the YWCA.

What makes Central Mass. unique? The people and the incredibly rich history of this area. I’ve lived in Central Mass. for more than 30 years. I grew up in Western Mass., and I previously spent many years working in Boston. There are good people all over the commonwealth and lots of fascinating stories, but this place is special.

Almost famous: I was ever-so-briefly (blink and you’d miss me) on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” standing next to Greg Kinnear.
