“Congratulations to New Bedford Way Award Winner Sharon Thomas, Finance!
Sharon has worked in many departments since joining the City in 1987, and now as the Assistant to the Chief Financial Officer, she works tirelessly behind the scenes to keep the finance department running like a well-oiled machine. CFO Bob Eckstrom said it best when talking about Sharon: “She is the embodiment of teamwork, there is no task she is unwilling to assume, no question for which she will not scour every available resource to answer. Your problem is her problem.” Sharon’s positive attitude and fresh approach are evident to anyone who is currently or has worked with her in the past. Congrats Sharon!
The New Bedford Way Awards shine a spotlight on City workers who go above and beyond for their City and its residents. They’re the smiling face you see at City Hall; the person behind the scenes who makes everything run smoothly, the person out in the heat fixing the road or landscaping one of our many parks; or the police officer, firefighter or other emergency worker who is dedicated to keeping New Bedford an amazing place to live, work, and raise a family. The 2024 New Bedford Way Award winners, nominated by their supervisors, were recognized at a recent ceremony at Buttonwood Park, and were spotlighted on social media over the last week.”-City of New Bedford.
