North Adams – MountainOne Financial Partners, working in cooperation with five northern Berkshire County high schools, is announcing the selection of members of the Junior Board of Directors for the 2007-2008 school year, according to Stephen Crowe, MountainOne President and Chief Executive Officer.
Stated Crowe, “Our inaugural Junior Board was a terrific success, and was met with resounding approval from both the participating students and school administrators. We look forward to continuing this program, now in its second year, and to the outcome of the students’ Annual Project”
The Junior Board of Directors is composed of a junior and a senior from each of the five schools, including: Corbin Apkin and Andrea Therrien from Berkshire Arts & Technology Charter Public School (BArT), Christine Leal and Samantha Ritcher from Charles H. McCann Technical School, James Albee and Amanda Carr from Drury High School, Kimberlee Guettler and Shaun Jennings from Hoosac Valley High School, and Veronica Kelly and Kaitlin Roy from Mount Greylock Regional High School.
School faculty and administrators assist with the selection of the student representatives from their school, based on the student’s desire to pursue a business career in the future, academic strength, outgoing personality, and active participation in extracurricular activities. Students serve two-year terms coinciding with the school calendar.
The Junior Board of Directors provides participating students with an understanding of how businesses operate. During monthly meetings in the MountainOne Board Room, Junior Board members learn about important business topics, including marketing, sales, finance, operations, insurance and investments. The instructors for each of these sessions are top-level professionals from various MountainOne departments. And, students also participate in an Annual Project, consisting of the development of a real product or service to be offered to customers.
Junior Board members will also be invited to attend MountainOne’s annual meeting in April. Last year’s Junior Board was fortunate to personally meet with State Attorney General Martha Coakley, who lauded the Junior Board program.
Coordinating this year’s Junior Board of Directors are MountainOne employees Myra Wilk and Tyna Senecal, who are excited about the prospect of communicating with students through Facebook and MySpace.
Crowe further stated that “MountainOne will continue its efforts to partner with local schools on financial education programs. Employees are already implementing portions of State Treasurer Tim Cahill’s Saving Makes “Cents” program and provide “How to Do Your Banking programs to several local high schools. Our goal is to help provide local students of all ages with the financial education they need to become fiscally fit adults.”
MountainOne Financial Partners, MHC, is a mutual holding company that comprises five wholly owned subsidiaries: Hoosac Bank, Williamstown Savings Bank, South Coastal Bank, True North Financial Services, and Coakley, Pierpan, Dolan & Collins Insurance Agency. The five companies total more than 200 employees at their offices in Adams, North Adams, Williamstown, Braintree, Rockland, Scituate, and Quincy, MA.
