ROMNEY ADMINISTRATION NAMES THOMAS GLOSTER TO SPRINGFIELD FINANCE BOARD
Administration and Finance Secretary Thomas Trimarco has appointed attorney Thomas F. Gloster III to the Springfield Finance Control Board. The five-member panel was created in 2004 to restore financial stability to the Commonwealth’s third largest city. An original member of the Finance Control Board, Trimarco resigned from it last week in order to become Secretary of Administration and Finance.
“Tom Gloster is a man of intelligence and integrity who will commit himself to solving Springfield’s current challenges,” said Trimarco. “His ties to the area, as well as his personal and professional qualifications, make him uniquely qualified for the job.”
A Holyoke native, Gloster began his law career in Boston in 1971, retiring as a partner with Nixon Peabody LLP in 2002. Gloster’s areas of expertise included real estate, equipment leasing, financial partnerships, government assistance and securities law.
“Having been born and raised in the area, I realize the dominant role that Springfield plays in the economy of western Massachusetts,” said Gloster. “I look forward to working constructively with other board members to continue the progress that has been made to put Springfield back on a secure financial footing.”
A graduate of the University of Massachusetts and Georgetown University Law Center, Gloster resides in Plymouth with his wife, Kathy. An active member of his community, Gloster serves on the board of the Plymouth Library Corporation and as an overseer of Plimoth Plantation.
Gloster will attend the next meeting of the Finance Control Board, which is scheduled for October 27, 2005.
