Janice Galloway Neighborhood Leadership Award
Janice was born in Level Piece, St. John’s, in the Caribbean island of Montserrat and migrated to Boston in 1979. She first learned that she could be a mover and shaker at Greenwood United Methodist Church where she learned how to work collaboratively with others, and motivate youth. She was involved in fundraising and a range of other activities in
the church. She experienced group spirit as the United Methodist Women (UMW) invited her to roller-skating, or to the movies, and even into the kitchen to whip up meals to feed the congregation.
Janice joined the Aspirers Club in 1994 and over the years, she has filled many roles in the organization including serving as Secretary, Vice President, and being elected as the first female President in 2009. She has been instrumental in member recruitment, planning a successful boat-ride, assisting with the tutorial program, fundraising and shipping equipment for the hospital and Seniors Home in Montserrat. She also supports other Montserrat and Caribbean Associations in Boston, New York, Miami, and Toronto.
On September 18, 2018 Janice celebrated 18 years of working at Akamai Technologies, Inc. and has become a well-known staple in the Network Operations Command Center (NOCC). She has gone from the only woman in the room to shift manager in the headquarters of the Kendall Square location.
Janice works to connect with other cultures such as the Irish International Immigrant Center (IIIC) as a Co-chair of the Cross-Cultural Committee and as a member of the Board. She also serves as secretary of the mem-bership Committee and Trustees Board at Parkway United Methodist Church and Vice President of the Metro Boston Hope District United Methodist Women.
Janice’s upbringing instilled the need to give back and she is continually working to improve her neighborhood, and seeking opportunities to help and support Montserratians worldwide. Her leisure activities include reading, dancing, and international travel.
Caltor McLean Neighborhood Leadership Award
Caltor McLean was born in Boston is
married with five children and four grand-
children. He attended Boston University
and studied computer science in 1986
which led to a career of more than 20 years
in the computer industry.
He is also an independent business owner
and commercial real estate owner.
He survived the greatest financial collapse during our time in 2008.
While other businesses were closing or going out of business,
Caltor adjusted to the economy and made prudent financial deci-
sions, which sustained his businesses during these incredible finan-
cial and stressful years.
Caltor has been doing business in the Dorchester community for
over twenty years, owning Emz Rainbow Laundromat, LLC and
Emz Pizza and Ice Cream, LLC (d.b.a. Cornerstone Pizza Café).
He also owns the commercial property of 3 -11 Bowdoin Street
and 352 Washington Street (known as Cornerstone Lot). He is
one of the longest lasting businesses in the Greater Four Corners
area. He currently serves on the board of the Four Corners Main
Street.
Caltor has a passion for advocating and fighting for the children
born at a disadvantage and families in need. He serves his
community with great humility and compassion and often feeds
families in the neighborhood that would have gone without food.
Caltor hopes to foster a business environment in which business-
es are thriving and not simply surviving in the Four Corners com-
munity.

Andrea Campbell Millennium Award
Andrea Joy Campbell was first elected
as the District 4 Boston City Councilor
on November 3rd, 2015, representing
primarily the neighborhoods of Dorches-
ter and Mattapan, as well as parts of Roslin-
dale and Jamaica Plain. On January 1st,
2018, at the start of her second term,
Councilor Campbell was unanimously
elected Boston City Council President by her colleagues. She is the
first African-American woman to serve in this role.
Born and raised in Boston, and educated in all Boston Public
Schools, Councilor Campbell went on to graduate from Princeton
University and UCLA Law School. She began her career at a non-
profit in Roxbury, providing free legal services to students and their
parents on education matters. She has worked as legal counsel in
both the public and private sectors, and before embarking on her
run for City Council, served as deputy legal counsel for Governor
Deval Patrick.
Councilor Campbell began her first term by chairing and expanding
the Council’s Committee on Public Safety to include Criminal Justice
in an effort to bring important conversations around re-entry services
for returning citizens, solitary confinement, and the school-to-prison
pipeline, to the Council. As one of the lead sponsors of the Communi-
ty Preservation Act, she led the effort for its successful passage in
2016, which will generate millions of dollars annually for affordable
housing, historic preservation, and open space in the City of Boston.
In 2017, she secured the first-ever dedicated line item in the City’s
budget to specifically fund youth development programming and
youth serving organizations. Councilor Campbell continues to focus
on issues of public safety and criminal justice, affordable housing, and
racial equity initiatives. Councilor Campbell lives in Mattapan with
her husband, Matthew, and their son, Alexander.
Amani Boston Youth Award Amani Boston is a Dorchester native who
resides in Four Corners. She has a 4.1 GPA
and will be graduating from Cathedral High

an exceptional student but she is also active
with the Cathedral Panthers basketball team
and helped lead them to two MIAA state cham-
pionships. She is an all-star for basketball and
track and field for the Catholic Conference.
When she is not studying or playing sports she volunteers as a coach
and referee for the co-ed South End Youth Basketball League. She is
an assistant coach for the Merritt Attention Basketball Association
fourth grade team, a program that mainly serves Dorchester, Roxbury
and Mattapan boys. Amani also volunteers and assists with organizing
the Boston Showstoppers free basketball clinics for inner city girls.
Additionally, she works with Mobil Stu, a non-profit organization that
builds relationships between the police and inner city youth through
music. Amani and her father volunteer serving the homeless food and
she also assists her mother with organizing coat drives for the home-
less. One of Amani’s proudest moments is when she organized and
led the televised student protest at her school. The protest led to the
school hiring more teachers and addressing the lack of teacher diversi-
ty; adding more SAT prep classes and electives; improving lunches;
etc. Amani wants to study business and eventually attend law school.
