On May 6, 2005 University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Charlton College of Business presented an “Award for Product and Process Innovation --Breaking New Ground” to The South Coast Insider.
Who knew that a region dotted with old mill cities and former farmlands could be a bastion of innovation? As part of its 40th Anniversary celebration, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Charlton College of Business recognized five local companies at the “Breaking New Ground, Product and Process Innovation” awards ceremony on May 6, 2005. One of five recipients was The South Coast Insider. Sebastian Clarkin accepted the Innovation Award on his mother’s behalf on at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
