On November 25, 2014, the Wellesley Municipal Light Plant held a luncheon to commemorate three recent special events.

First, General Manager Richard F. Joyce presented service awards to the following employees:

  • 15 Years, Daniel R. Butler and Dennis L. Furbush
  • 25 Years, Daniel J. Trant
  • 30 Years, James W. Verner
  • 35 Years, Richard L. Wilder, Jr.
  • 40 Years, John S. Kendall

Second, WMLP Board member, Gordon Kinsley and General Manager Richard Joyce presented Mr. Peter Bracken with a portrait that will be hung in the Gathering Room in dedication to Peter’s outstanding and faithful service to the Wellesley Municipal Light Plant throughout his career.

Thirdly, the entire crew at WMLP was honored for breaking its record of 1,376 days without a loss time accident, which had been achieved on November 15, 2014. Steve Socoby represented the entire NEPPA staff and congratulated the crew on an outstanding safety record and encouraged each employee to remain diligent in the future to always work safe. Mr. James Moore and Mr. Thomas Lewis from Mass Development-Devens also spoke in praise of the WMLP crews on the professional and safe way they perform at Devens.






A good safety program starts at the top. Dick Joyce is also to be congratulated. Mr. Joyce most often attends the safety meetings that are held at WMLP and he makes sure the supervisors are also in attendance. His presence at those meetings undoubtedly lets his crews know that he truly cares about their safety. However, it takes a cooperative effort by management and the crews working together to create as safe an environment as possible in which to work. Congratulations to Wellesley Municipal Light Plant for an outstanding job!
