Felicia Sayers
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Pittsfield Co-operative Bank has hired Felicia Sayers as assistant branch manager of its South Street location. 
 
Sayers brings with her a strong track record of supervising staff, overseeing branch operations, and mentoring team members, all while maintaining her own portfolio of responsibilities — from opening complex account types and processing loan applications, to ensuring daily compliance and vault cash management. She is certified in an extensive range of financial platforms and is a licensed notary public and Nationwide Multistate Licensing System holder.
 
She most recently was an asset quality collector at Greylock Federal Credit Union, where she facilitated a variety of teller, member service, and collection-related tasks for its members in compliance with established policies, strategies and procedures. Prior to that, Sayers held key roles at TD Bank, where she supervised teller teams, managed vault operations, and trained new hires across Berkshire County. She has consistently been recognized for customer satisfaction and sales performance, winning multiple awards for the highest amount of sales and referrals.
 
"Felicia's extensive knowledge of banking and dedication to helping the community makes her a great asset to the Co-op Bank team," said Reinaldo Roman, vice president and branch manager. "We are excited to have her be a part of our South Street team."
 
Beyond her professional achievements, Sayers has generously volunteered for more than 10 years with organizations such as Labor Lenten of Love building care packages for the homeless in Berkshire County, as well as Berkshire Dream Center clothing drives and holiday wrapping events. When she's not busy managing branch operations and helping members, you can find Sayers volunteering at the Habitat for Humanity's Women's Build and with Thanksgiving Angels fundraising, as well as numerous community events including annual parades in North and Central County.

Soccer Hall of Fame Adds Members, Awards Scholarships

Community submission
PITTSFIELD, Mass. -- The 2026 CIAO Soccer Hall of Fame induction ceremony took place at Berkshire Hills Country Club on Thursday.
 
The Hall of Fame's mission is to preserve the sport's history in Berkshire County, to honor excellence within the game and to make a connection between the generations that bring communities together. With players who last played on a soccer field in Berkshire County in the 1960s to the scholarship winners at the banquet on May 14th who played their last high school game in the fall of last year, we are achieving our goal. 
 
It is worth noting that this class of inductees is stellar. We have four County MVP selections, 14 All-Berkshire selections, eight All-Western Mass selections and, and nine captain honors, five four-year varsity starters and one five-year varsity starter. 
 
The players were introduced by committee chairmen Al Belanger and Patrick West. The scholarship winners were introduced by Chris Dumas, a member of the CIAO Soccer Hall of Fame committee. The photographer for the evening was Ricco Fruscio. Over the past 21 years, the scholarships awarded to high school seniors in Berkshire County have topped $250,000.  
 
The 2026 Inductees:
Katie Dumas Sturm (Wahconah 2015) was a hard-nosed, and relentless four-year starter for Wahconah. She was a two-year captain in the middle of the field, scoring and assisting on clutch goals in big games. She was rewarded with being named All Berkshire, and All Western Mass in her senior year. She is married to Brent Sturm (who is also being inducted into the hall of fame this year) and has a son Banks and a 7-week-old Everett Michael. She works at General Dynamics. 
 
Brent Sturm (Wahconah 2009) was named to the All Berkshire Team in both his junior and senior years and won a Western Mass championship during his time at Wahconah. He also went on to have a stellar career at Wentworth Institute. He and his wife, Katie, are the first husband and wife inductees into the CIAO Soccer Hall of Fame in the same year.  After college, he helped coach the Wahconah Soccer and basketball teams. He works at General Dynamics.
   
Nicole Gamberoni (Lenox 2019) was an impact player on her team for five years while at Lenox making All-Berkshire teams four times. She was captain twice, finished with 107 points, and was the league MVP two times. She also went on to play soccer at AIC. She is working at Lenox High School while she is getting her master’s degree.
