UniBank holds meeting at Historic Tuckerman Hall

UniBank, the largest Mutual Community Bank in headquartered in Central Massachusetts, recently celebrated their 2022 Annual Meeting at Tuckerman Hall in Worcester with over 125 Bank Directors, Corporators, and Bank Officers in attendance.

Historic Tuckerman Hall in Worcester was selected as this year’s venue for the Bank’s Annual Meeting as way to symbolically link the northern most location of UniBank (in Worcester), with its more southerly headquarters in Whitinsville.

At the meeting, bank leaders looked back at the 152 years of history and growth while celebrating UniBank’s strength for the future. Meeting attendees enjoyed a special welcoming performance by the talented Quadrivium Choir from Worcester’s Burncoat High School, led by director Dave Twiss, leading to a standing ovation.

“UniBank takes great pride in our 153 years of serving the community,” stated Michael Welch, CEO of UniBank. “We were a bank founded in the more southern region of the Blackstone Canal in Massachusetts, and through the years we have grown to serve the northern most point in the Blackstone Canal region of Worcester.”

Welch continued, “Last year we celebrated our Annual Meeting, in the northbridge Town Hall, a building donated to the community by the Banks founder, John Whitin. This year we thought it only appropriate to celebrate in the city that is home to our northern most location – Worcester. Tuckerman Hall was a building donated by one of the leading industrialists in the mid1800’s of Worcester, Stephen Salisbury, which he named after his grandmother, Elizabeth Tuckerman. Both the northbridge Town Hall and Tuckerman

Hall symbolize and manifest the work ethic, entrepreneurial spirt, the commitment to business excellence, the unwavering focus to give back to community.”

As a mutual bank that is dedicated to the communities it serves in Central Massachusetts, UniBank continues to uphold the values and ideals of the bank’s founders.

“The ideals of hard work, of innova- tion, of giving back – striving to make the community a better place, particularly for those of lesser means – are not only the ideals of Moses Taft, John Whitin, Stephen Salisbury, and Elizabeth Tuckerman of the mid1800’s, but are the ideals that serve as inspiration to all those involved in UniBank today,” stated Welch in his remarks to meeting attendees. “As a result of these lived realities, due to the dedication of our employees, Board, and Corporators, UniBank remains a strong, vibrant, secure, and safe institution. We are continuing our role as one of the most important community assets in our region.”
