Denise Richardello was elected to a second term to the New England Regional Council of the College Board.

NORTH ADAMS, MASS. — Denise Richardello, vice president of enrollment and external relations of Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, was elected to a second term to the New England Regional Council of the College Board.

The term, which will run for three years, follows a one-year term on the council that Richardello served by a special appointment. Recently, Richardello attended the annual New England Regional Forum in Boston where she facilitated a workshop on Berkshire Compact's work, which focuses on getting young students on college campuses to raise their aspirations to attend college.
 
According to MCLA President Mary K. Grant, Richardello's association with the New England Regional Council of the College Board is a natural extension of her work at MCLA where she provides opportunities for students' success at the college and throughout New England.
 
"Denise has extensive experience in admissions and enrollment management," Grant said. "Her reputation and the relationships she has established in public higher education across the region will continue to serve the board well as it considers vital issues of student access and affordability."

Clarksburg Sees Race for Select Board Seat

CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The town will see a three-way race for a seat on the Select Board in May. 
 
Colton Andrews, Seth Alexander and Bryana Malloy returned papers by Wednesday's deadline to run for the three-year term vacated by Jeffrey Levanos. 
 
Andrews ran unsuccessfully for School Committee and is former chairman of the North Adams Housing Authority, on which he was a union representative. He is also president of the Pioneer Valley Building Trades Council.
 
Malloy and Alexander are both newcomers to campaigning. Malloy is manager of industrial relations for the Berkshire Workforce Board and Alexander is a resident of Gates Avenue. 
 
Alexander also returned papers for several other offices, including School Committee, moderator, library trustee and the five-year seat on the Planning Board. He took out papers for War Memorial trustee and tree warden but did not return them and withdrew a run for Board of Health. 
 
He will face off in the three-year School Committee seat against incumbent Cynthia Brule, who is running for her third term, and fellow newcomer Bonnie Cunningham for library trustee. 
 
Incumbent Ronald Boucher took out papers for a one-year term as moderator but did not return them. He was appointed by affirmation in 2021 when no won ran and accepted the post again last year as a write-in.
