2009 Award Winner

The Honorable Thomas Slater
Member, Rhode Island House of Representatives (RI-10)

Thomas Slater For 15 years, Representative Slater has been a vocal proponent of affordable housing initiatives in Rhode Island, and demonstrated a deep-seeded commitment to community development. This commitment led him to successfully sponsor $50 million housing bond legislation in 2006 that today funds the state’s affordable housing efforts. Representative Slater not only sponsored this important measure, but participated in the development of an effective oversight and delivery system that ensures the state housing commission had sufficient funds to administer the bond program. Representative Slater is always available to his constituents, and takes time to work directly with residents to draft and submit legislation that affects the lives of many. Representative Slater is accessible, honorable, dedicated and resourceful, and works tirelessly to improve the lives of Rhode Island residents.
