All employees of the town of Williamstown are eligible. For example, this includes snowplow drivers, librarians, cemetery workers, police officers, town department heads, custodians, teachers, transfer station workers, fire fighters, the town manager – anyone on the town payroll.


Nomination forms are available at the Milne Library and at Town Hall, or nominations can be sent to the League of Women Voters of Williamstown, P.O. Box 392, Williamstown, by May 7. Nominations should include a description of the exceptional service provided and the name and telephone number or email address of the person submitting the nomination.

The name of winner will be announced on May 21 at the annual town meeting.

Past winners are Tim Kaiser, Rose Hamman, Betsy Reali, Mary Kennedy, Pat MacLeod, Chris Lemoine, Mindy Hackner, Paul Langlois, Brian O'Grady; Janet Saddler, Patti Patterson and, last year, the entire Department of Town Inspections.

2025 Year in Sports: Mount Greylock Girls Track Was County's Top Story

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
Mount Greylock Regional School did not need an on-campus track to be a powerhouse.
 
But it did not hurt.
 
In the same spring that it held its first meets on its new eight-lane track, Mount Greylock won its second straight Division 6 State Championship to become the story of the year in high school athletics in Berkshire County.
 
"It meant so much this year to be able to come and compete on our own track and have people come here – especially having Western Mass here, it's such a big meet,"Mounties standout Katherine Goss said at the regional meet in late May. "It's nice to win on our own track.”
 
A week later at the other end of the commonwealth, Goss placed second in the triple jump and 100-meter hurdles and third in the 400 hurdles to help the Mounties finish nearly five points ahead of the field.
 
Her teammates Josephine Bay, Cornelia Swabey, Brenna Lopez and Vera de Jong ran circles around the competition with a nine-second win in the 4-by-800 relay. And the Mounties placed second in the 4-by-400 relay while picking up a third-place showing from Nora Lopez in the javelin.
 
Mount Greylock's girls won a third straight Western Mass Championship on the day the school's boys team claimed a fourth straight title. At states, the Mounties finished fifth in Division 6.
