LONGMEADOW — Bay Path University is launching a new associate of science in nursing (ASN) program to help address the national nursing shortage and create new entry points into the profession.

The ASN program offers a flexible pathway for students to gain the knowledge, clinical experience, and credentials needed to take the NCLEX-RN exam and enter the workforce, typically within two years. For those with a non-nursing bachelor’s degree, the ASN can lead into Bay Path’s RN to BSN program, and ultimately into a master of science in nursing (MSN) or a doctorate-level nurse practitioner role.

Courses follow a flexible, supportive model. Students without prior college coursework begin with two terms of online academics, followed by four terms of in-person clinical labs and practicums paired with online coursework. No prerequisites are required; all competencies are built into the curriculum.

“The demand for registered nurses has never been greater, and this is a new way to address that demand, strengthen the pipeline, and provide opportunities for high-growth careers,” said Linda Adams-Wendling, chief nurse administrator and director of Nursing Education at Bay Path. “We intentionally created this ASN program to work for many types of students, from recent high school graduates to career changers who are looking to enter nursing.”

Bay Path is also launching a direct-entry MSN program for students with non-nursing bachelor’s degrees. This pathway enables graduates to earn RN licensure and an MSN, preparing them for leadership and teaching roles in healthcare.

Applications for both programs are open now, with classes starting in September. These initiatives expand Bay Path’s growing portfolio of healthcare programs.

SPRINGFIELD — In the spring of 2017, BusinessWest and its sister publication, the Healthcare News, created a new recognition program called Healthcare Heroes. It was launched with the theory that there are heroes working across this region’s wide, deep, and all-important healthcare sector, and that there was no shortage of fascinating stories to tell and individuals and groups to honor. That theory has certainly been validated.

But there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of heroes whose stories we still need to tell. And that’s where you come in. Nominations for the class of 2024 are due Thursday, July 17, and we encourage you to get involved and help recognize someone you consider to be a hero in the Western Mass. region in one (or more) of these eight categories: Patient/Resident/Client Care Provider; Health/Wellness Administrator; Emerging Leader; Community Health; Health Educator; Innovation in Health/Wellness; Collaboration in Health/Wellness; and Lifetime Achievement.

Nominations can be submitted at businesswest.com/healthcareheroes/nominations.

SPRINGFIELD — Common Wealth Murals will host its second annual Paint the Town fundraiser on Thursday, June 26 from 6 to 9 p.m. at White Lion Brewing in Tower Square, 1500 Main St., Springfield. All proceeds from this event will support the painting of murals in Springfield this summer.

This year’s event follows the success of the inaugural Paint the Town event in 2024, the first major fundraiser for Common Wealth Murals, which saw more than 200 attendees and raised more than $11,000 to help fund the painting of last year’s Springfield murals.

This year’s Paint the Town fundraiser will feature food, drinks, a DJ, and the opportunity for attendees to help paint a mural under the guidance of professional muralists.

The event is free to attend, and those planning to attend are encouraged to RSVP at commonwealthmurals.org/events. Donations can be made when reserving a ticket, at the event, or through the Common Wealth Murals website. Sponsorships are also encouraged at the following levels: $500, Friend of Mural Art; $1,000, Bronze Brush Sponsor; $2,500, Silver Spray Sponsor; and $5,000, Golden Palette Sponsor.

Common Wealth Murals will also award the organization’s Nelson Stevens Award at the event to Karen Finn, executive director of the Springfield Cultural Partnership. She is a champion of public art who has nurtured, mentored, and supported emerging muralists and public artists and provided outstanding service to public art in Springfield. The Nelson Stevens Award is named in honor of the late AfriCOBRA member who directed the painting of more than 30 murals in Springfield in the 1970s.

Common Wealth Murals will add murals to three Springfield neighborhoods this summer: Mason Square, Indian Orchard, and the South End. The organization will also install five murals in Springfield high schools that were designed and painted by students during the school year.

To date, Common Wealth Murals has created 80 murals in Springfield and more in other Massachusetts cities and towns. The organization has also trained more than 70 local artists and teachers in community-engaged mural making and directly engaged thousands of people of all ages in participatory mural design and painting. Common Wealth Murals began mural making in Springfield in 2019 with the Fresh Paint festival, and has also produced Springfield’s graffiti jams; window, bike kiosk, and sidewalk chalk installations; and other temporary public art installations.

FLORENCE — Florence Bank recently presented its 2025 President’s Award to three staff members for exceptional service.

“We chose the YMCA as a firmwide community project to honor the legacy of our partner, Jeff Poindexter, who passed away in 2024,” said Dan Finnegan, Bulkley Richardson’s managing partner. “Jeff knew summer camp was a privilege not all kids had access to and was an advocate of advancing equity in our local neighborhoods.

SPRINGFIELD — Hooplandia was in full swing over the weekend, with more ballers than ever filling its courts with 3-on-3 basketball action. Bulkley Richardson sponsors the annual Hooplandia Leadership Award during the tournament, and this year’s recipient is John Doleva, president and CEO of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield. Mark Cress of Bulkley Richardson presented Doleva with this honor at a midday reception on June 21.

Bulkley Richardson is a law firm that has been in practice for more than a century, providing legal services to local and national clients. It pledges to serve as both industry and community leaders, encouraging and upholding excellent moral standards and fairness.

It is in this spirit that Bulkley Richardson, in partnership with Hooplandia producer and host site Eastern States Exposition (ESE), created the Leadership Award, which is presented each year to a deserving person, group, or organization within the community that exhibits the qualities of good leadership: bravery, respect, positive attitude, integrity, and fair play — leader-like behavior that builds team morale and makes a lasting impact on local communities.

“Bulkley Richardson is pleased to sponsor Hooplandia again this year and honored to be a part of this great community event,” said Jennifer Jacque, head of Marketing and Business Development at Bulkley Richardson. “When we work and play together with integrity, fairness, and a positive attitude, anything is possible. Teammates and opponents can come together, complement one another, and build a stronger community as a result.”

ESE President and CEO Gene Cassidy added that “regional residents take the Basketball Hall of Fame’s proximity for granted at times. People travel from all over the world to visit Western Mass. in awe of what we see every day. John Doleva does an amazing job leading and building the Hall’s globally recognized shrine. He is a champion of the sport and the city of Springfield.”

BOSTON — The Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development (EOLWD) released Massachusetts unemployment and job estimates for May, with preliminary data indicating payroll jobs increased by 3,200, the number of employed residents grew, and the Massachusetts labor force and labor force participation rate also increased.

Revised April estimates for payroll jobs increased by 8,100, as did revised April estimates for employed residents. With an increase in labor force participation, the state unemployment rate also increased to 4.8% for the month of May. Preliminary data is based on survey data provided by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Among the 3,200 estimated preliminary payroll jobs added in May, the strongest job growth occurred in four BLS categories, including leisure and hospitality, financial activities, construction, and education and health services. In addition to payroll data, BLS also reported preliminary data indicating that 3,500 more Massachusetts residents were employed in May for a total 3,766,800; employed residents data includes individuals who are self-employed (such as contractors, physicians, and drivers).

“It’s encouraging to see our labor force continue to grow with an additional 12,000 individuals this past month, driven partly by youth and young adults entering the labor market. With increased labor force participation, we need to ensure employers are able to access skilled talent while we also strengthen access for individuals in need of additional training, industry-recognized credentials, job coaching, and career readiness,” Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development Lauren Jones said.

“For example, this week showcased Massachusetts as a global hub for the life sciences during the annual BIO International Convention — an opportunity to highlight the amazing careers and career pathways to help advance lifesaving solutions and support patient care,” she added. “Massachusetts is home to incredible industry partners fostering a diverse, growing talent pool for the life sciences, and we are committed to connecting skilled talent to growing companies and investing in career pathways for untapped talent wanting to launch a career in Massachusetts.”

SPRINGFIELD — The Foundation for TJO Animals announced that Janna Brown has been named its new executive director. After a year of serving as interim director and five years as a board member, Brown is bringing her lifelong passion for animal welfare and her signature energy to the organization full-time.

Before stepping into nonprofit leadership, Brown spent two decades as a meteorologist, most recently spending nine years at Western Mass News, where she became a household name. Her heart, however, has long belonged to the animals at the Thomas J. O’Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center on Cottage Street, where she volunteered weekly.

“I started at the TJO adoption center as a dog volunteer, walking pups, cleaning kennels, and other tasks as needed,” Brown said. “My admiration and support for what they do there grew into a passion and career centered around helping care for animals. I am honored to take on this role and work alongside such a dedicated team and board of directors. Together, I believe we can achieve great things and make a positive impact at TJO and in our community.”

During her time in the spotlight, Brown helped bring visibility to TJO’s mission, with the foundation being named Western Mass News’ charity of choice, a reflection of her personal commitment to the cause.

“We are thrilled to welcome Janna as our new executive director,” said Heather Heeb, board president. “We are confident that her leadership will bring new energy and effectiveness to the Foundation for TJO Animals. We look forward to working alongside Janna and her team to continue our mission in supporting the needs at the Thomas J. O’Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center.”

HOLYOKE — Girl Scouts of Central and Western Massachusetts (GSCWM) recently welcomed eight new and re-elected members to its board of directors, swearing them in during its annual meeting and volunteer recognition event. GSCWM’s board of directors now stands at 21 board members total, 19 adults and two girl members.

HOLYOKE — On June 13, team members from Whittlesey’s Holyoke office participated in the firm’s 15th annual Community Day at the Zoo in Forest Park & Education Center in Springfield. Volunteers spent the day painting fences, cleaning the grounds, and constructing wooden display boxes — hands-on work that supports the zoo’s mission of caring for non-releasable animals and promoting conservation education throughout the region.

For more than a century, the zoo has been a cornerstone of Springfield’s cultural and environmental landscape, and Whittlesey was proud to contribute to its ongoing impact. Community Day is an annual tradition for the regional CPA and consulting firm, during which employees set aside their usual work to support nonprofit organizations in the communities where they live and work. In addition to the efforts of the Springfield team, volunteers participated in Community Day projects across Connecticut.

“As part of the Western Massachusetts business community, it means a lot to be able to support a place like the the Zoo in Forest Park,” said Drew Andrews, CEO and managing partner at Whittlesey. “This event is one of the most meaningful days of our year. It reminds us of the importance of showing up, working together, and giving back to the communities we’re proud to be a part of.”estWhitt

Jeffrey Fialky

SPRINGFIELD — At Thursday evening’s 19th annual 40 Under Forty event at the MassMutual Center, BusinessWest announced that Jeffrey Fialky, managing shareholder at Bacon Wilson, P.C., is this year’s Alumni Achievement Award (AAA) winner.

Fialky broke through on his fourth time as a finalist for the AAA, which, since 2015, has been awarded annually to the past 40 Under Forty winner who, in the minds of an independent panel of judges, has most impressively built on his or her record of professional achievement and service to the community since being named a 40 Under Forty honoree.

Fialky was an associate with Bacon Wilson when he was voted to the 40 Under Forty class of 2008. Today, as managing shareholder, he is leading the firm through a time of change and challenge in that sector while also continuing to give back to community organizations and causes ranging from Springfield Museums to the Springfield Regional Chamber — which, just last week, awarded him its Lifetime Achievement Award.

The other four finalists for this year’s AAA award were Amelia Holstrom (40 Under Forty class of 2015), partner at Skoler, Abbott & Presser, P.C.; James Krupienski (class of 2010), partner at Meyers Brothers Kalicka, P.C.; Ryan McCollum (class of 2012), owner of RMC Strategies; and Orlando Ramos (class of 2014), state representative for the 9th Hampden District. The Alumni Achievement Award was presented by Health New England.

More than 500 people attended the 19th annual 40 Under Forty program, which was presented by PeoplesBank and sponsored by Mercedes-Benz Springfield, Live Nation Premium, and the Isenberg School of Management at UMass Amherst.

When Jim Vinick put his mind to doing something — whether it was the next iteration of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame or a statue in honor of the man who would be identified as the ‘Jimmy’ in the Jimmy Fund — he got it done.

And that’s just one of the character traits that people remember as they celebrate the life and accomplishments of Vinick, most recently the managing director of Investments for Moors & Cabot, who passed away earlier this month.

Mostly, they remember that he didn’t just get things done — he got them done right, the way he thought they should be done.

With the statue of Einar Gustafson (‘Jimmy’), that meant removing Red Sox slugger Ted Williams, a close friend, from the original plans for the piece — because it was the Boston Braves, not the Red Sox, that were originally associated with the nonprofit that raised money to battle cancer in children — and being steadfast in his efforts to have it located in a prominent area.

This determination to have things done his way sometimes ruffled people. Indeed, John Doleva, president and CEO of the Hall of Fame, who worked with and beside him for decades, said of Vinick: “while his exterior was gruff, his heart was pure.”

Indeed, it was, especially when it came to the Hall. For Vinick, it was literally a life-long passion.

“As a young teenager, he worked with his father, brother, and others to help establish the original Basketball Hall of Fame on the campus of Springfield College and since then has been a tireless advocate for the various iterations of the Hall,” Doleva noted. “He has served as our longtime finance committee chair and treasurer of the organization keeping a watchful eye on the Hall’s financial condition, and he helped guide the long-sought economic renaissance of the Hall and reveled in the current fiscal condition of the Hall and our growing impact on the game. He stands as the bedrock of the current Hall. He will be missed, but never forgotten.”

Those are sentiments shared by many, including those who tuned in to “The Vinick Report” on Channel 40, dedicated to financial literacy and helping viewers make smart, informed financial decisions. And those who worked with him on the Jeffrey Vinick Memorial Golf Tournament, staged in honor of his son, who lost his battle with a rare form of testicular cancer. And those who benefited from his many contributions to community institutions such as Jewish Geriatric Services, Temple Beth El, and the Willie Ross School for the Deaf.

Those sentiments explain why Vinick was honored by BusinessWest with its prestigious Difference Makers award in 2013. Only a few dozen people have earned that title, which is reserved for those who go above and beyond — in his case, with everything he did — and make this region a better place to live, work, and do business.

He certainly did that, and, as Doleva noted, he’ll be missed, but never forgotten.

SPRINGFIELD — The Springfield Symphony Orchestra (SSO) and Local 171 of the American Federation of Musicians jointly announced they have reached a new two-year collective bargaining agreement. The new contract starts in the upcoming 2025-26 season and extends through the 2026-27 season.

The new agreement contains a minimum of eight symphonic concerts and an education concert for the upcoming two concert seasons. The agreement also includes the addition of a second musician seat on the SSO board, which will expand from 15 to 17 seats, and wage increases for musicians over each of the two years. The agreement also calls for an average of 64 contracted musicians, remaining the same from the previous two-year agreement.

This new agreement gives the Springfield Symphony Orchestra greater flexibility to design seasons that both honor tradition and embrace innovation. Starting with the 2025-26 season, the SSO will present a minimum of four classical concerts each year, down from six in previous seasons. This change allows room to explore new formats and creative programming. In addition, the season will feature two pops concerts and two hybrid performances that blend classical repertoire with popular music to engage broader and more diverse audiences.

“We are so pleased to make this announcement about a new two-year agreement that builds upon the shared goal, between management and the SSO musicians, of sustaining and advancing our Springfield Symphony Orchestra,” said Paul Lambert, president and CEO of the SSO.

“With so much distressing news out there around the arts, this is a dose of much-needed good news for the SSO and for our region,” he added. “The new collective bargaining agreement joins musicians, staff, and our board in the collective enterprise of putting together the best symphonic concert seasons over the next two years. With this agreement, we are entering a new age of cooperation and collaboration with our incredible musicians, and our region and the arts are big winners.”

According to Beth Welty, president of Local 171, “the musicians’ negotiating committee feels that this is a very positive step. We look forward to continuing to work with Paul Lambert, the staff, and the board toward the goal of expanding the orchestra’s outreach and service to all of Western Massachusetts.”

Added Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno, “I want to thank our wonderful Springfield Symphony Orchestra and the talented musicians for their efforts in working together on this new two-year deal. Thanks to the work from President and CEO Paul Lambert and his incredible team, and the leadership from the Local 171 of the musicians union, our beautiful symphony, which is a world-class venue and organization, will continue to provide and display an amazing collection of musical talent at every event and show. The proud tradition of our Springfield Symphony Orchestra will continue to light up our historic and majestic Symphony Hall with music for all to enjoy. Congratulations again to all involved, and I am looking forward to enjoying more of their shows in the future.”

In the past two seasons, the SSO has made efforts to diversify its musical offerings and brought talent from around the world in the form of both guest conductors and guest artists to Springfield Symphony Hall. The concert seasons have featured Latin jazz ensemble the Mambo Kings, Bugs Bunny at the Symphony, annual MLK Jr. celebration concerts, Fearless Women Awards honoring local women leaders in the community, Juneteenth concerts at no cost to the community, and more.

In the 2024-25 season, internationally acclaimed conductor Mei-Ann Chen joined the SSO as artistic advisor, helping to curate programs, select guest soloists, and facilitate other artistic needs.

SPRINGFIELD — As part of Berkshire Bank’s signature week of community service, 700 employees volunteered with 31 nonprofits to help lift up the places they live and work during the bank’s Xtraordinary Week (X Week) of giving back, which took place June 9-13.

Employees participated in more than 35 projects to help address issues like hunger and homelessness and aim to enhance the future well-being of those who live in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Vermont, and Rhode Island.

In the Pioneer Valley, employees volunteered with the Zoo in Forest Park & Education Center in Springfield, the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts in Chicopee, and White Oak School in Westfield.

“Giving back is a core part of who we are as a company because we believe that lasting impact starts with local action,” said Lori Kiely, managing director of the Berkshire Bank Foundation. “Throughout X Week, our employees helped build stronger, more resilient communities — and stronger connections with one another.”

Named for the X in its logo, Berkshire’s award-winning XTEAM Employee Volunteer and Giving Program is a central element of its workplace culture, providing employees with an easy way to put its corporate values into action and help each of its communities realize its full potential.

Berkshire employees also actively volunteer throughout the year. They achieved a remarkable milestone in 2024: 100% volunteered in their communities through more than 250 company-sponsored projects with more than 11,500 hours of service. In addition to the hours contributed through X Week, all Berkshire employees are eligible for up to 16 hours of paid time off annually to volunteer with nonprofits of their choice.

NORTHAMPTON — For the fourth year in a row, Grow Food Northampton (GFN) and Cedar Chest, the anchor store in Thornes Marketplace in downtown Northampton, announced their partnership to fight hunger in Northampton.

Cedar Chest is conducting the “Give $10, Get $10” campaign to raise funds for GFN’s SNAP Match program. At GFN’s year-round farmers markets, Tuesday market, and winter market, the SNAP Match program doubles SNAP users’ benefits so they are able to buy healthy local foods at the farmers markets, with the idea that everyone, no matter their income level, should be able to eat nutrient-dense produce and other products from local farms.

Figures for 2025 show that hunger is steeply on the rise in Massachusetts. More than one in three households in Western Mass. does not have enough food to eat, and 67% of those households report having at least one chronic health condition. Eating adequate amounts of healthy local food regularly is shown to improve health and well-being, and the SNAP Match program is key for many Northampton households to ensure they are consuming a healthful diet.

Launched on June 15, the “Give $10, Get $10” promotion allows Cedar Chest customers to donate $10 to Grow Food Northampton’s SNAP Match program and, in turn, receive a $10 gift card to spend at Cedar Chest. Customers can just stop in at Cedar Chest to make the donation and get a gift card in return.

“We are proud to continue our partnership with Grow Food Northampton for a fourth year,” Cedar Chest co-owner Alex Feinstein said. “The ‘Give $10, Get $10’ campaign is a simple but powerful way for our customers to support food access and local farms while shopping local. It’s a win-win-win: people in need get fresh local food through the SNAP Match program, our community’s farms thrive, and Cedar Chest customers get rewarded for giving. In times like these, partnerships like this one remind us that local businesses can play a meaningful role in creating a more just and resilient community.”

Added Alisa Klein, co-executive director of Grow Food Northampton, “with hunger growing every day in Northampton and beyond, this partnership with Cedar Chest is a jewel in the crown of this caring community. With the ‘Give $10, Get $10’ promotion, everyone can play a role in ensuring that all members of our community have enough to eat and our local farms are supported to continue to feed our community for the long term.”

SPRINGFIELD — American International College (AIC) has named Rob Kearney to the position of director of Athletics, effective July 7. Kearney brings more than a decade of athletic training and leadership experience to this role and will oversee the college’s portfolio of NCAA Division II athletic programs.

“Rob has already made a significant impact in his time at AIC, and his energy and innovative approach will be invaluable to this role,” AIC President Nicolle Cestero said. “His perspective on athletic administration, strong relationships with coaches, and the trust he has built with our student-athletes will bring both stability and renewed direction to AIC Athletics.”

The appointment follows Kearney’s prior tenure as assistant athletic director for sports medicine and performance, in which he oversaw a transformational restructuring of the department and rebuilt all aspects of the college’s athletic training and strength and conditioning programs.

“I am humbled and honored to be selected as the director of Athletics here at AIC. Over the past year, I have been increasingly amazed at the culture, community, and passion within the department,” he said. “I am eager to begin this journey and lead AIC Athletics with passion, excitement, and a vision of success to continue to grow the legacy of the Yellow Jackets.”

Before arriving at AIC, Kearney served as an athletic trainer at Springfield Central High School and was head athletic trainer for the men’s club ice hockey program at UMass Amherst from 2014 to 2024. He has held roles at a number of local institutions, including the Williston Northampton School, Deerfield Academy, and Palmer Public Schools. Kearney and his husband, Joey, also own and operate CrossFit Iron Legacy in East Longmeadow.

Beyond his experience in athletic training and coaching, Kearney’s record includes a 15-year career of professional competition. In 2023, he finished third in the America’s Strongest Man competition and has a personal record of 961 pounds in the deadlift. He has competed in the World’s Strongest Man competition five times and the Arnold Strongman Classic three times. In 2020, he was awarded the title of Pound for Pound Strongest Man in the World by Official Strongman.

Kearney currently serves on the executive board of the OUT Foundation and previously was the Massachusetts state representative for the National Athletic Trainers’ Assoc. LGBTQ+ advisory committee. He holds a master’s degree in advanced athletic training with a concentration in athletic rehabilitation and a bachelor’s degree in athletic training from Springfield College, and is a Massachusetts-licensed athletic trainer.

SPRINGFIELD — Tech Foundry, the regional leader in IT workforce development and training, was notified late last month that the Trump administration is clawing back funding for digital equity efforts nationally. As a result, digital literacy training, tech support, and device distribution services at its Tech Hub in Holyoke will be drastically reduced in August.

The Massachusetts Broadband Institute (MBI) is the state-level funding entity for digital equity initiatives. In mid-May, MBI communicated that it is suspending the Launchpad grant program until further notice due to the funding rescission.

Beginning on Aug. 7, Tech Hub Holyoke, located at 206 Maple St., will offer limited workshops (schedule to be released soon), and community workshops in Hampden, Hampshire, and Franklin counties will be suspended until additional funding is secured. Tech Hub Springfield, located at 1350 Main St., will continue to offer classes, tech support, and device distribution to Springfield residents. More information, including reserving class participation and tech support services, can be found at techhubmass.net.
