Leo Bergeron will be presented with the Gloucester Rotary’s Paul Harris Distinguished Service Award at a special dinner on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, at Cruiseport Gloucester, located at 6 Rowe Square in downtown Gloucester. The Paul Harris Distinguished Service Award is the highest honor bestowed by the Gloucester Rotary and recognizes Leo as a long-time local banker and community activist.
 
Leo was selected by a Rotary committee of previous Paul Harris recipients. Over its 100+ year history, the Gloucester Rotary has honored more than sixty individuals with the award. The award is named after Paul Harris, a Chicago attorney who founded the Rotary movement in the early 1900s.
 
After graduating from Nichols College in 1976, Leo began a career in the banking industry working at lending institutions in the New Hampshire seacoast region and on Boston’s North Shore. In 2000, he joined Cape Ann Savings Bank in Gloucester where he successfully established a commercial lending department to serve Cape Ann businesses.
 
After previously serving other Rotary Clubs and a presidential position with the Kiwanis Club in NH, Leo was welcomed by the Rotary Club of Gloucester as a member 25 years ago, where he has held several leadership positions, including the club’s 2020-2021 presidency.
 
Leo has a daughter, Brianna; a grandson, Graham; and has been married to his wife Jacqueline for almost 20 years. His hobbies include freshwater fly fishing and riding his motorcycle.
Tickets for the Paul Harris Distinguished Service Dinner are $60 per person and may be reserved by contacting committee Chair Steve Kaity at 978-407-1504 or skaity@strongleather.com. The dinner is open to the general public and friends and colleagues of Leo are encouraged to attend.
