Westborough's Maureen Johnson Named 2020 Commonwealth Heroine

WESTBOROUGH, MA — Westborough's Maureen Johnson was named a 2020 Commonwealth Heroine. Johnson serves as the President of the Westborough Education Foundation, Chair of the Annual Trivia Bee and Co-Chair of the Turkey Trot, among other things. She was recommended by State Rep. Hannah Kane.

The annual Commonwealth Heroines celebration recognizes women from across the state who "perform unheralded acts daily that make our homes, neighborhoods, cities and towns better places to live." State legislators are responsible for recommending women within their districts for the honor.

Maureen champions the effort to renovate and expand the public library as Co-President of the Library Foundation, and she helped launch the newly formed Police Foundation. As Treasurer of the Westborough Cultural Council, Maureen works to ensure that the community has a robust offering of local cultural events.

"Maureen Johnson is an integral part of the Westborough community. Through her extensive

volunteer work, she has found a way to support nearly all of the pillars that make a community strong," the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women, which gives out the honor, wrote, "Maureen is everywhere and Westborough is fortunate to have her."
