Greylock appoints Anthony Rinaldi as Director Emeritus

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Greylock Federal Credit Union's Board of Directors voted unanimously to appoint Anthony Rinaldi as Director Emeritus in recognition of his longstanding and distinguished service to the credit union.
 
In March 2024, the Board of Directors voted to confer the Director Emeritus designation on Rinaldi. Individuals who are appointed Directors Emeriti function as an advisory committee to the board of directors. Rinaldi's designation reflects a two-year term.
 
"I'm honored to have served with Tony and am gratified to recognize his years of dedication and commitment to the members of Greylock," said Board Chair Peter Lopez. "We look forward to his continued involvement with the board as an esteemed advisor and Director Emeritus."
 
Rinaldi joined the board in 1994 and served as Chairman for five years. He most recently served as chair on the Asset-Liability Committee, or ALCO, and the Compensation committee.
 
"I've known Tony for many years and it's been an honor to serve with him on our board," said Board Member Sheila A. LaBarbera. "Our board has truly benefitted from Tony's tireless service, expertise, and generosity through the years and we are thrilled to honor him in this way."
 
Rinaldi recently retired from his role as the Executive Vice President of Fairview Hospital for Berkshire Health Systems. He is a graduate of Boston College School of Management with a bachelor's degree in accounting. He lives in Pittsfield with his wife, Wendy.

Dalton Chief, 3 Firefighters Retire

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — The Fire District's endeavor to keep interim Fire Chief Christopher Cachat on has ended — though it's not clear if that's permanent. 
 
In a Facebook post Thursday morning, the district announced that during an executive session on Tuesday, the Board of Water Commissioners met with and accepted the retirements of Cachat, Assistant Chief Michael Cachat, Safety Officer Barry Smith, and Safety Officer Steven Perry.
 
The decision comes following grumbling over the district's efforts to obtain state approval to keep Cachat on as a permanent chief position, a requirement given the state's mandatory retirement age for firefighters is 65. 
 
If approved, Cachat, who is currently 68, would serve as chief for about a year and a half, at which time the board will need to hire a new chief. 
 
Capt. Ryan Foley was promoted to interim chief and will be working in this position in a full-time capacity.
 
"The Commissioners, the Fire District, and the Fire Department want to express their deepest gratitude and appreciation for the decades of service from these four outstanding firemen," the district wrote in its post. 
 
"With over 100 years of service among them, their guidance and experience will be greatly missed, and we thank each of them for answering the call for so many years."
