New Leaders Brings Diverse Experience of Helping Others 

Pittsfield, Mass. – Big Brother Big Sisters of Berkshire County is proud to announce three new members to the Board of Directors: Deanna Schuster, Mary Beth Larrow, and Nicholas Grizey.

Mike Monti, President of the Board of Directors said, “We are pleased to welcome three, outstanding local people to the board and look forward to working with them. They bring passion, experience and an enthusiasm to the team. In addition to their organizational and leadership skills, they also bring a genuine love and concern for the residents of Berkshire County - both children and adults alike.”

Deanna Schuster is office manager for Ascentek, Inc., a Pittsfield-based company specializing in IT support, network design, and network security services for local businesses.

She came to Pittsfield in 2006 after graduating in 2005 from Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. Schuster is a member of the Berkshire Leadership Program (BLP) and the Berkshire Business and Professional Women (BBPW) organization.

In addition, she is currently working with members of the community as part of the Youth Leadership Task Force Committee to develop a youth leadership program for high-school students in Berkshire County.

Schuster lives with her husband Josh and their chocolate lab, Hershey, in Pittsfield.

Mary Beth Larrow is the Executive Assistant to the President of the Berkshire Economic Development Corporation (BEDC). The BEDC facilitates, coordinates and leads countywide economic development efforts designed to attract and retain high quality employers and employees and strengthen the economy of the Berkshires.

A November 2008 graduate of the Berkshire Leadership Program, Larrow’s community involvement includes recently co-chairing the Berkshire Employment Outlook Committee and serving on the Berkshire Academies Mentor Program committee.  She sits on the Board of Directors for the Berkshire Academies.

Larrow has two sons. Brian is a graduate of the University of San Diego and teaches English in Xi’an, China. Daniel, a senior at Springfield College, will graduate with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Exercise Science and plans to complete his required internship at the University of Australia - Sydney. 
Nicholas Grizey serves as Assistant Vice President of Branch Operations at Legacy Banks. In this capacity, he directs the operating functions of a network of 17 branch offices in Massachusetts and New York as well as the Customer Service Call Center.

Grizey joined Legacy in 2004 as a branch administration analyst. He has since been promoted to branch operations manager and most recently branch operations officer.

Grizey holds a B.A. in finance and operations management with dual concentrations in investment and corporate finance from The University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He is also an M.B.A. candidate with UMass, Amherst.
