NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — MountainOne Insurance, a full-service insurance agency with offices in North Adams, Pittsfield, and Williamstown, has been named a "Top Insurance Employer” by Insurance Business America (IBA).

IBA’s annual Top Insurance Employer program ranks leading U.S. insurance organizations based on a series of employee satisfaction metrics, including benefits, compensation, culture, employee development, and diversity.  It is the third time that MountainOne Insurance has been recognized, having achieved this distinction in 2019 and 2021.

"We are incredibly proud to be recognized once again by Insurance Business America as a Top Insurance Employer,” said Jonathan Denmark, MountainOne Insurance’s President and Chief Operating Officer. "In a challenging employment environment, we strive to offer flexibility and first class benefits to our employees." 

IBA’s Top Insurance Employer program has a two-phase qualification process, including an employer and an anonymous employee satisfaction survey. Company results are distributed across three categories based on employee size and overall satisfaction scores.

"I am especially proud of our employees over the past year as the Insurance Agency expanded and we welcomed many new team members," Denmark said.  "With a strong culture, we have been able to reach new heights in delivering Personal, Commercial and Employee Benefit insurance solutions throughout our region."

MountainOne Insurance was one of the twenty-six organizations recognized in the 26-100 employees category for 2022. To learn more, visit here.

SteepleCats Earn Their First Home Win of Summer

By Ben McDonoughFor iBerkshires.com Sports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — It took nearly three weeks and plenty of heartbreak, but the North Adams SteepleCats finally had their breakthrough moment at Joe Wolfe Field.
 
Behind six strong innings from starter Niklas Pavia and a game-changing three-run third inning, the SteepleCats earned their first home victory of the 2026 season Sunday afternoon, defeating the Upper Valley Nighthawks 4-1.
 
The SteepleCats wasted little time getting on the scoreboard. Chris Diaz opened the bottom of the first with a double into the gap and immediately put pressure on the Nighthawks by stealing third base. One batter later, Bobby Stang hit a ground ball that allowed Diaz to race home and give North Adams an early 1-0 advantage.
 
That was all the support Pavia needed to settle into a groove.
 
The right-hander was electric from the start, striking out the side in the second inning and consistently attacking hitters with confidence. Pavia struck out seven batters over six innings of work, allowing just one run while repeatedly pitching out of trouble.
 
Upper Valley’s lone run came in the third inning when Frank Kelly launched a solo home run to left field, knotting the game at one apiece.
 
The tie lasted only minutes.
