The Power 50: Michael P. Angelini
MICHAEL P. ANGELINI
Chairman
Bowditch & Dewey, LLP, Worcester
Residence: Worcester
Colleges: Wesleyan University, Duke University
There might be two people in Worcester with the connections and clout who can immediately make change happen, whether it be a fix for something small, like a city permitting issue, or the start of a larger project, like improving the public school system. Along with Susan Mailman, Angelini is one of these two people, the result of a 50-year career spent working and leading one of the city's most high-profile law firms, volunteering for countless nonprofits and boards like Massport where he raised the profile of Worcester Regional Airport, and making day-to-day connections with the economy's movers and shakers. After reaching the 75 age limit, Angelini this year retired from the board of The Hanover Insurance Group, a board he once chaired and helped pick the last two CEOs.
What advice would you give up-and-comers? Jump in. There are no barriers to participation in Worcester, and there are a multitude of opportunities. Think about engagement and influence rather than power, a dangerous and misleading word. We are all important, and everything we do can make a difference.
What is a fun fact about you people don't know? I have fun almost all the time and almost every day.
