1Berkshire Announces Fourth Virtual Town Hall: Reopening the Berkshire Economy

Join us for our next Virtual Town Hall: Reopening the Berkshire Economy

May 12, 2020 – Pittsfield, MA – After three engaging Virtual Town Halls, 1Berkshire has announced its fourth conversation to be held on Friday, May 15, 2020 at 10AM, with a focus on Reopening the Berkshire Economy. Moderated by 1Berkshire President and CEO, Jonathan Butler, this panel will include Senator Adam Hinds; Ben Sosne, Executive Director of the Berkshire Innovation Center; and Jennifer Trainer, Executive Director of Hancock Shaker Village.

This panel of business leaders and elected officials will share their perceptions and observations on reopening the Berkshire Economy, including points of caution, notes of optimism, and hard facts as we look at what an information-driven reopening timeline could, and should, be for our region. This panel is sure to provide a deeper understanding of everything from the seasonal economy, healthcare metrics, broader budgetary impacts, and the protocols already being put in place by many employers in the region to prepare for a re-open.

“As we look to the coming weeks and months, and how we want to safely and effectively reactivate our mostly-dormant economy in the Berkshires, this group of regional leaders will provide exactly the types of perspectives we need to hear to give us a real understanding of and outlook on what that rollout looks like,” stated Jonathan Butler.

1Berkshire plans to hold sessions weekly on Fridays at 10AM, so be sure to visit https://1berkshire.com/virtual-town-hall for upcoming events, and to tune into recordings of past sessions. 1Berkshire Virtual Town Halls are free and open to the public, but pre-registration is required.
