LEE, Mass. — Lee Bank has promoted three long-tenured staff members, Paula Gangell-Miller, Christine Quetti and Brandy McKie, to the role of First Vice President in their respective departments.
 
Paula Gangell-Miller has been promoted to First Vice President of Deposit & Retail Operations. Paula first joined Lee Bank in 1988 and has held numerous roles from customer-facing to behind the scenes, which provides her, her current team and her colleagues with a backstop of deep banking knowledge. 
 
Christine Quetti has been promoted to First Vice President of Audit & Compliance. Chris initially started with Lee Bank in 1986, having the responsibility as the bank's internal auditor for many years before taking a few years away to raise her two sons, and then rejoining in 2012. She has been a front row witness to the bank's growth and progression. Her tenure with the bank is a testament to her loyalty and commitment.
 
Brandy McKie has been promoted to First Vice President of Retail Banking. Brandy joined Lee Bank in 2010 and has grown from the Universal Banker/Teller role to Branch Manager and now to running the entire branch network and all Retail channels. She has also played an essential role in several renovation and construction projects including the new branch construction in Pittsfield.
 
"All three of these individuals exemplify who we are as a bank. They operate with an incredible attention to detail, perform at a high level every day, are never afraid to roll up their sleeves to assist their colleagues and all have shown long term loyalty to 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."
