Watertown Savings Bank is a strong supporter of local non-profit organizations across all fields. “The Bank is extremely proud of the Customer Choice Awards because of how many organizations are helped,” WSB President and CEO Brett Dean said. “Our employees look forward to the Awards night each year, to learn about all of the good work being done in our communities.”
WSB’s Customer Choice Awards is yet another way for the Bank to give back to the community while simultaneously involving residents in recognizing all the hard work and community impact brought by nonprofits. WSB has awarded $1.2 million through the Customer Choice Awards alone since its launch 26 years ago.
