STOCKBRIDGE, Mass. — After an extensive search, Norman Rockwell Museum has named Alyssa Stüble as the new communications manager.

In this role, she will help bolster NRM's presence in the media and highlight the broad range of the museum's offerings, from special exhibitions to virtual reality experiences, and more. Additionally, her digital marketing experience will bring online content to new audiences and grow the museum's regional and national footprint.

"We are delighted to welcome Alyssa to NRM and our Berkshire community," said Margit Hotchkiss, chief marketing officer. "Her museum experience and contemporary communications skillset will support the Museum’s mission and goals to ensure we engage wide and diverse audiences about the art and civic values demonstrated by Norman Rockwell, and the field of American illustration art."
 
Relocating from Philadelphia, Stüble has both diverse and specialized skillsets in museum marketing and public relations. Most recently she was manager of marketing and communications at the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia, working on all things PR, advertising, digital marketing, social media and graphic design. She also freelanced for the University of Pennsylvania Museum as a media buyer and strategist for the opening of the new Middle East galleries in late 2018. Previously, she was a curatorial intern in her hometown - Scranton, Pa. - at the Everhart Museum.

She holds a master's degree in arts administration with a concentration in nonprofit communications from Temple University in Philadelphia, as well as a bachelor's degree in art history, which fostered her appreciation for Rockwell's art. Stüble and her husband Philip Arnold are excited to live here year-round and explore all the arts and culture the The Berkshires has to offer. Arnold has a graduate degree in City & Regional Planning (also from Temple University) and transitioned from his professional role in the private sector of planning to a county government position with the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission. He currently works as a community planner in Pittsfield, Mass.

Dalton Town Hall Lift Solutions in Development

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — Solutions are being sought for the lift in Town Hall that has been out of service since December because of safety concerns. 
 
Building Grounds Superintendent Jeff Burch told the Americans with Disabilities Act Committee meeting on Tuesday night that Hill Engineering has been contracted to come up with a potential option.
 
The lift is in the police station and the only other lift for the town hall is in the library, which is not accessible after library hours. 
 
Previous attempts by Garaventa Lift to repair it have been unsuccessful. 
 
Replacing it in the same location is not an option because the new weight limit requirement went from 400 pounds to 650 pounds. Determining whether the current railings can hold 650 pounds is outside the scope of Garaventa's services to the town. 
 
The first option Hill has proposed is to install a vertical lift in a storage closet to the left of the police entrance, which would go up into the town account's office. 
 
A member of the committee expressed concern that the current office location may not be suitable as it could hinder access to the police station during construction.
