It is with excitement and regret that we announce that Janice Ward, long-time President of our Council, has resigned from our board. Jan has taken a new executive director position with a bank in Pennsylvania and has left Berkshire Bank. We, the members of the board, wish her all the best in this new endeavor, and extend our heartfelt thanks for all she has done for the board over the years.

Holly Rogers, Esq. is the new Interim President of BCEPC

I am pleased to announce that Holly Rogers has agreed to act as interim President of the Council. Going forward will certainly be a new chapter without Jan but I am confident that we, as a board, will continue to provide you, our members, with quality programs and networking opportunities. While our programs for the time being are held virtually, I look forward to seeing you at events in the future.

Sincerely, Loretta M. Mach, Esq., Board Chair
