When Angelini speaks, everyone listens. Over the course of a 50-year career at one of Worcester’s largest law firms and serving on of a variety of advisory boards, he’s built an elaborate network of connections and a reputation for poignant leadership, providing direct and clear insight on a variety of challenges.

He served on the board of Hanover Insurance Group and helped pick its last three CEOs, and he was integral to Massport buying Worcester Regional Airport, which has resulted in infrastructure investment and additional airlines. Today, his most public role is on the Worcester Redevelopment Authority, where he advocates for downtown Worcester. He still advises younger lawyers, demonstrating the importance of engagement in the community.

What makes Central Mass. unique? Our opportunities. At a time of population shift to urban centers, we are a uniquely urban community, with a diverse population, workforce and economy, attractive and safe neighborhoods, world-class colleges and hospitals, extraordinary cultural organizations, expanding social and entertainment opportunities, responsive governmental leadership, and distinctive systems of public education. If Worcester was a public company, its stock would be a “buy.”

What is a fun fact about you no one else knows? I’ve always wished I had an impressive answer to this question, but I don’t.
