LEE, Mass. — Lee Bank announced a new addition to its mortgage lending team. 
 
Evan Collins has joined the Bank as a mortgage originator and will be working out of the Pittsfield branch, currently located at 75 North Street.
 
Evan was previously employed as a sales associate at Piretti Real Estate and Stone House Properties. He has been involved in real estate sales in Berkshire County for seven years. Evan is looking forward to exploring a different side of the local real estate market in his new position with Lee Bank. His background and insights will be great assets to the Lee Bank lending team.
 
Evan is a lifelong Berkshire County resident. He currently resides in Lenox with his wife, Becki, and their two daughters, Mila and Catalina. In addition to his real estate sales experience, Evan earned a degree in Business Administration from the Isenberg School of Management at University of Massachusetts.

"Although Evan will be based out of Pittsfield and predominantly focused on supporting Lee Bank's mortgage lending efforts there, he is poised to support growth throughout our footprint in all business lines including retail banking, commercial banking and financial wellness. We're thrilled to have Evan here at Lee Bank," said Lee Bank President Chuck Leach.

Community Hero of the Month: Officer Joshua Tracy

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
LEE, Mass.—Lee Police Department patrolman Joshua Tracy has been selected for the February Community Hero of the Month. 
 
The Community Hero of the Month series runs for the next 9 months in partnership with Haddad Auto. Nominated community members and organizations have gone above and beyond to make a positive impact on their community. 
 
Tracy has been an officer in the Berkshires for seven years, working for multiple departments including North Adams, Pittsfield, and as of approximately 5 months ago, Lee. 
 
Prior to being an officer, Tracy served 12 years in the Army National Guard. He became an officer when he left the service because it not only allowed him to help others, which he knew he enjoyed, but allowed him to utilize his military training. 
 
When on a call, Tracy knows he is likely walking into someone's worst day, which is why he strives to be a dependable person for the people out in the community, he said. 
 
"I think the thing that I think about the most of making an impact is showing up on these calls that we go on and de-escalating and calming the situation down," Tracy said. 
 
"You know, most of the time when we show up, it's because someone's having one of their worst days or just a really bad day."
