In 1976, the Brunswick-Topsham-Bath Military Community Council decided that it was appropriate to
recognize those individuals in our area who, through their outstanding dedication and service toward the best possible military-community relationship within this area, deserved to be singled out, congratulated, and remembered. That decision was made in recognition that it has been the collective effort of many
individuals, over many years that have fostered the very excellent relationship which exists today between the military and civilian communities in this region. Soldier, statesman, educator and businessman Joshua L. Chamberlain was selected as the namesake for an annual award to be given by the Council.
Joshua L. Chamberlain Award Criteria:
