1Berkshire is Now Accepting Nominations for the Esther Quinn Award

BERKSHIRE COUNTY, MA – 1Berkshire is happy to carry on the tradition of awarding the Esther Quinn Award, now in its 18th year. The award will be given out at our Good News Business Salute at Berkshire Hills Country Club on April 26th at 7:30 AM. This award was first given in 1999 to William Wilson, former president and CEO of the Berkshire Visitors Bureau. In 2015 Peter Marchetti, Pittsfield City Councilor and SVP of Retail Banking and Operations at Pittsfield Cooperative Bank, was honored with the award. We are currently accepting nominations for the 2017 Esther Quinn Award. To apply please go to 1berkshire.com/esther-quinn-award. Nominations will be accepted until March 24th, 2017.

Esther Quinn, for whom this award is named, was an advocate for volunteerism and was active with many organizations throughout the Berkshires. She was a member of the Berkshire County Board of Realtors for more than twenty years and was the top Century 21 agent in all of Western Massachusetts, several different times. Her help in bringing people together to strengthen and serve the community, to which she gave much of her spare time, was evident in her efforts throughout the region. We are pleased to be able to give out this award each year to a local recipient who embodies all the qualities that Quinn held so dear and worked so tirelessly for.

To join us for the award ceremony please plan on attending the April 26th Good News Business Salute. Tickets can be purchased at 1berkshire.com/good-news-business-salute-4.
