Sometimes having outside help can make all the difference!

🔦 Sometimes you don’t need new answers. You need a new angle. A small shift in perspective can change what you see. Coaching uses curiosity, deep listening and reflection to help you see what’s already there differently and co-create what comes next.

Be sure to join us to celebrate all of our recipients!

Donald Antilla will receive the “Unsung Hero” Award from the Southbury Chamber during its 2026 Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner on Wednesday, October 7, at the Heritage Hotel Golf, Spa & Conference Center.

A longtime Southbury resident, Antilla has quietly devoted decades of volunteer service and technical expertise to improving the community. He served continuously on the Southbury Planning Commission for 43 years and has contributed to numerous municipal projects involving community planning, streetscape improvements, public lighting, emergency communications and open-space preservation.

Among his many contributions, Antilla helped develop plans and technical specifications for improvements along Main Street South, assisted with updates to the town’s lighting regulations and communications systems, and served on the original task force that helped establish Southbury’s Rural Preservation Advisory Committee. He currently serves as vice chairman of the Streetscape II subcommittee and returned to the Rural Preservation Advisory Committee in 2026.

The event will take place from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at 522 Heritage Road in Southbury. To register or learn more, visit: www.southburychamber.com
