According to Gina Calabro, CEO of HBRA of Fairfield County, DiMatteo met the following selective criteria to be named to the Fairfield County Hall of Fame: “A member who has demonstrated consistent dedication and service over an extended period of years (minimum of 5 years of membership/ service); and one who has made extraordinary contributions of their time, financial resources, and outstanding leadership skills in direct service to the HBRA, and whose service has had a significant impact on the HBRA. This nominee should be a member in good standing, a former member, or a retired member. This award is not intended to be granted on an annual basis and is to be granted only in cases where a member exhibits exceptional merit sustained over a period of years that clearly rises above all others.”
