About the Award

John A. Holbrook Award

The award was created to recognize Westbrook Republicans who, with honor and dignity, have made a positive contribution to their community.

The award is named for John A. Holbrook who served with distinction as First Selectman of Westbrook, was elected to the House of Representatives and the State Senate.

During World War II, Mr. Holbrook served as a Major in the Army and was appointed as the Military Governor of Stuttgart Germany.

The event is held each spring at beautiful Water’s Edge Resort & Spa in Westbrook. We are proud to recognize two outstanding Westbrook residents and one Corporate Citizen in his name each year.

It was an exciting day as Westbrook's new Police/Harbor boat was launched!! Many, many thanks to Dave Russell and John Rie for countless hours of research and planning to make this day happen! The boat will be used by the town's marine patrol in our rivers and harbor. It will be shared by the Harbor Commission to monitor and service buoys, channel markers and moorings. A lot of people had a hand in making this happen: the Board of Selectmen, Board of Finance, Marine Patrol, Harbor Commission and Atlantic Outboard! I tried to christen the boat with a bottle of champagne. It would not break and so John tried. It still wouldn't break.
