Five South County Towns Name Shared Human Resources Director
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Sophia Bletsos has been named to the position of human resources director for five South County towns.
Bletsos’ position, funded by a state grant for the first year, is shared among Great Barrington, Sheffield, New Marlborough, Monterey and West Stockbridge. She will be primarily based at Great Barrington Town Hall.
"Collectively these five towns have hundreds of employees, and this shared position will be an excellent resource for our several towns' HR needs," said Great Barrington Town Manager Mark Pruhenski.
Most recently a human resources generalist at Guido’s Fresh Marketplace in Pittsfield and Great Barrington, she has also worked in HR positions with Advanced Impact Technologies in Pittsfield and for the town of Suffield, Conn.
Bletsos earned two degrees from Springfield College: a master’s degree in industrial and organizational psychology and a bachelor’s degree in business administration and management, with minors in art and environmental studies.
In her shared position, Bletsos will be responsible for establishing and refining best practices in all aspects of human resources management in the five towns.
