PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Miss Hall's School announced that Lisa Lewis of Pittsfield has joined the school as its new marketing director.
 
A seasoned nonprofit marketing and communications executive, Lewis comes to MHS from the Austen Riggs Center in Stockbridge where she was the communications director since January 2005. Prior to joining the Center, Lewis was the marketing director at the Berkshire Museum. She has also previously held marketing and public relations positions with the San Francisco Health Plan and the California College of Podiatric Medicine, both in San Francisco, and Faulkner Hospital in Jamaica Plain, Mass.
 
At Miss Hall's School, Lewis will oversee the development, implementation and monitoring of a comprehensive marketing communications program that includes new media strategies, public relations and advertising. This effort will allow for greater collaboration among the school's admission, development and publications offices to market the school's position as a nationally recognized, boarding and day secondary school with programs that include Horizons and the Girls' Leadership Project.
 
"We are very pleased to have Lisa join MHS," Chief Advancement Officer Janis Martinson said. "All of us at the school know that preparing girls for college and lives of great purpose beyond college is important and meaningful work and adding Lisa to our award-winning communications team will move us that much further as we continue informing the broader community about the Miss Hall mission."

Dalton Planning Board OKs Gravel Company Permit

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — The Planning Board approved the renewal of Nichols Sand and Gravel's special permit for earth removal. 
 
The company, located at 190 Cleveland Road, operates a gravel pit there. 
 
The hours of operation will remain 7 to 4 p.m. The commission approved owner Paul Nichols' request to allow trucks to depart the property in either direction. 
 
Nichols has to apply for renewal of the special permit every year. The previous permit required the truck to exit the property to the right.
 
It makes more sense to go left if truck drivers have to go to the Pittsfield area, Nichols said. He has talked to the residents in the area and they are agreeable to the change. 
 
Former residents requested this stipulation nearly 16 years ago to reduce the number of trucks using the residential street to avoid disturbing the quality of life and neighborhood. 
 
There weren't any residents present during the meeting who expressed concerns regarding this change.
