LINCOLN, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amica’s Executive Vice President and Chief Growth & Marketing Officer, Tory Pachis, was recently honored for his exceptional leadership in marketing and communications, earning a prestigious 2026 ORBIE Award from BostonCMO, the preeminent peer leadership network for New England chief marketing officers (CMOs).
