Celebrating Five Class Acts

By Editorial June 4, 2025

Opinion

Editorial

BusinessWest launched its 40 Under Forty program in 2007 to recognize the rising stars in the 413. It’s become an immensely popular initiative that has created a somewhat exclusive club, if you will, one that now boasts 760 members.

That’s a big number, and something to bear in mind when considering a spinoff from that original program, something we call the Alumni Achievement Award, which, as that name suggests, recognizes 40 Under Forty winners who have continued to build on their résumés, both professionally and with their work in the community.

This is a far more exclusive club and, in many ways, a more notable achievement, just because of those numbers.

Which brings us to our latest AAA competition, if you will. There can be only one winner — and he or she will be announced at the 40 Under Forty gala on June 19. But we celebrate our finalists because it’s an honor just to be in that group. And these stories provide us with a great opportunity to tell more stories about individuals who continue to excel and find new ways to give back and make a difference.

Each of our finalists (see cover story) has a unique story, but there are common denominators, especially a commitment to this region and using their talents to improve quality of life here. Each story is compelling, and each finalist is certainly worthy of being the next AAA winner:

• Jeff Fialky was an associate at the law firm Bacon Wilson when he became part of the just the second 40 Under Forty class in 2008. He’s now managing shareholder, leading the firm through a time of change and challenge in that sector while also giving back to the community and, specifically, agencies and causes ranging from the Springfield Regional Chamber to Springfield Museums.

• Amelia Holstrom was an associate at the law firm Skoler, Abbott & Presser when she earned her 40 Under Forty plaque. She’s now a partner and a regional leader in this ever-changing, vitally important field of law. She is also active in the community, with groups from the Girls Scouts to Clinical & Support Options, and roles such as library trustee in Wilbraham.

• Jim Krupienski has risen to the rank of partner at the accounting firm Meyers Brothers Kalicka, where is a real leader and mentor to many young people entering the field. And he acts as a true role model for them, especially with the many ways he gives back to the community, whether it’s through his own work with the Westfield State Foundation or the Westfield YMCA, or the way he encourages the firm to support agencies ranging from the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts to Habitat for Humanity.

• Ryan McCollum is, in a word, a ‘connector.’ As the founder and owner of RMC Strategies, he coordinates political campaigns and spearheads the marketing efforts of a growing number of area agencies, businesses, and causes, many of them involving under-represented constituencies. And, since long before joining the 40 Under Forty club in 2012, and continuing through his career, he has been involved in the community, with agencies like Square One, YPS, Suit Up Springfield, and the Healing Racism Institute of Pioneer Valley.

• Orlando Ramos and his family moved around a lot when he was young. They eventually settled in Springfield, which, for him, became a home — and a passion. He’s represented the community on the City Council, and now as state representative for the 9th Hampden District. It’s been 11 years since he was presented his 40 Under Forty plaque, and over that time, he’s continually found new ways to advocate for city residents and make the City of Homes a better place to live, work, and do business.

As noted earlier, all five are worthy of the AAA award, and all five should be celebrated for all they’ve done, and all they continue to do in, and for, this region.

HR Isn’t Dying — It’s Evolving

By Contributor June 4, 2025

Opinion

By Pam Thornton

If you’ve scanned the headlines lately, you might believe the end is near for the HR profession. Bold proclamations like “HR is dead,” “AI is taking over,” and “the HR profession is doomed” are grabbing attention and creating fear. These sensational claims are missing a deeper and more important truth.

Yes, HR is undergoing significant disruption. But no, it’s not dying. It’s transforming.

As HR thought leader Josh Bersin and several others point out, pressure is mounting for HR teams to automate, streamline services, and reduce overhead, often by integrating AI tools. But this shift doesn’t erase the function of HR; it redefines it.

The profession isn’t facing extinction; it is facing a reckoning. Here are a few of the most pressing signals HR professionals can’t afford to ignore:

• Automation of Routine Tasks. Chatbots and self-service platforms are handling more day-to-day HR inquiries, freeing up time, but also changing expectations.

• Shifting HR Business Partner Roles. As AI takes on more analytical and advisory functions, the traditional role of HR business partners is evolving.

• Redefined Job Structures. Organizations are restructuring roles and reporting lines with AI-driven insights, driving adaptability to the top of HR’s competency list.

These aren’t signs of collapse; they’re signs that the role of HR must become more strategic, consultative, and value-driven.

Whether it is benefits, payroll, or an integrated HRIS platform, automating routine tasks has elevated the employee experience by delivering faster, 24/7 support through self-service tools. As a result, HR professionals can redirect their focus toward strategic initiatives that drive business value.

This shift has also raised employee expectations. HR is now expected to be both highly efficient and consistently responsive. To thrive in this new reality, HR professionals must evolve alongside the tools they adopt, and upskilling is non-negotiable.

HR needs to be invested in data literacy and knowing how to interpret and apply HR data to drive smart decisions. Understanding how AI tools work and where they can enhance — not replace — work is critical. Creating strategic alignment by connecting HR goals to broader business outcomes in a measurable, impactful way should be at the top of every HR person’s priority list.

This isn’t a doomsday signal of HR. It’s the beginning of a new chapter — one filled with opportunity for those who are willing to adapt. By embracing the tools and technologies and reshaping the workplace, HR can deepen its relevance, strengthen its impact, and lead the way into the future of work.

Don’t wait for the future of HR — be the one to create it. Let’s not be defined by the headlines.

SPRINGFIELD — This month marks 60 years since the inception of Head Start, the nation’s most comprehensive early-childhood education program. Since the organization’s founding in 1965, Head Start has helped more than 37 million children across the U.S. prepare for school and build strong foundations for lifelong learning and well-being, while also providing resources for families and caregivers. Locally, Holyoke Chicopee Springfield Head Start (HCS Head Start) has been a proud part of this 60-year legacy, serving thousands of children and families in neighborhoods across Western Mass. With a mission to provide every child with the opportunity to thrive, HCS Head Start continues to serve as a cornerstone of high-quality early education, comprehensive services, and holistic family support. To mark the 60-year milestone, HCS Head Start hosted birthday-themed activities across its sites throughout May to honor the impact of Head Start in area communities, from classroom celebrations to staff appreciation events.

Nonprofits Need to Be Resilient

By Editorial May 21, 2025

Opinion

Editorial

In many respects, the timing could not be worse.

Indeed, the sharp cutbacks — and threatened cutbacks — for programs provided by area nonprofits comes at a time when needs are rising.

There’s increased need for food provided by area pantries and soup kitchens because of inflation, workforce reductions at several area companies, and the soaring costs of other necessities, like housing and healthcare.

There’s rising need for behavioral health services as people young and old continue to grapple with the lingering effects of COVID, the isolation it created, and other side effects.

Need is also rising for programs to assist the victims of domestic violence, child abuse, stalking, and related issues because of a worsening economy and the pressures it puts on families.

These are just some of the many programs and initiatives that are being threatened by cuts or the threat of cuts in federal funding to everything from early childhood education to SNAP benefits; clean air programs to the arts.

As the story on page 4 reveals, these are extremely challenging times for the area’s nonprofits, who are seeing cuts large and small involving programs that, in one way or another, impact quality of life in Western Mass.

These nonprofits are responding, as they always do, with determination and a strong desire to find ways to carry out their missions and continue to provide some of the services mentioned above. They’re looking at alternative sources of funding — from appeals to the public and area foundations to, in the case of the YWCA of Western Massachusetts, a capital campaign, not to build a building, but to keep programs operating.

At the same time, nonprofits are exploring ways to collaborate with other agencies so that vital needs can be met.

In some cases, as with a terminated $1 million grant for programs to address asthma in area cities, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to find other sources of funding and continue initiatives that have yielded progress on this important front.

Overall, many nonprofits are fighting, not necessarily for survival, but for the ability to retain their talented workforces and carry on their critical missions. And it’s an important fight, for the reasons mentioned at the top, but also because our nonprofits are a large — much larger than many people realize — and very important cog in this region’s economy. And not just because of the tens of thousands of jobs they provide, but because of the services they offer that help strengthen families and enable people to work and thrive in this economy.

If there is one adjective that could best describe this region’s nonprofit ecosystem — and it is exactly that, an ecosystem — it’s resilience.

Indeed, nonprofits have weathered recessions, workforce challenges, and, most recently, a pandemic that forced many of them to find new and different ways to carry out their missions.

They will need similar resilience, and much of it, in these ultra-challenging times, and we are quite confident they will find it — because there’s simply too much at stake.

Community Colleges Change Lives

By Contributor May 21, 2025

Opinion

By Michelle Schutt

We recently celebrated National Community College Month in April, a great time to reflect on what makes Greenfield Community College — and all community colleges — so special.

Did you know that 46% of all college students in Massachusetts attend community college? This remarkable statistic shows just how powerful community colleges are in helping students attain goals otherwise not possible, changing the trajectory of their careers and lives. Here are just a few of the ways GCC is supporting our region and beyond.

Graduates of community colleges increase their earnings significantly, with the average graduate earning nearly $10,000 more per year than their peers without a degree. Community colleges also serve as an onramp to higher-level degrees for many students, and particularly for the most demographically and socioeconomically diverse students. Approximately 45% of GCC graduates go on to subsequent education, illustrating the college’s effectiveness in providing further education pathways, better career outcomes, and more prosperity throughout our region and beyond.

Our graduates help build a highly educated and skilled workforce, which in turn contributes to stronger local economies and vibrant, resilient communities. As a primary educational institution for healthcare professionals, first responders, educators, business owners, tradespeople, and public servants, our skilled graduates provide essential services that we all count on. And by training more than 400 individuals per year through our workforce development programs, we are meeting workforce needs of many large and small employers throughout the region.

GCC also serves as a hub for community engagement and intergenerational initiatives in Franklin County, hosting close to 100 events each year, including workshops, cultural programs, and public lectures. These activities foster community involvement and promote lifelong learning among residents. Participants bring diverse perspectives and experiences to their communities, contributing to cultural enrichment and fostering a greater appreciation for the arts, sciences, and civic discourse.

Everywhere I go, I am told by current and former students that choosing to go to GCC has been one of the best decisions they ever made. And now, thanks to Massachusetts’ new free community college programs, enrollment has increased 31% since 2022.

We are nonpartisan in our mission to provide accessible, affordable education that can transform lives. The threads of Greenfield Community College run through every corner of our community — whether it’s businesses that are thriving because of our students and employees, the families whose lives are being uplifted, or the connections we’re making every day. We’re all in this together, and that’s something we can be incredibly proud of.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude for the work of the staff, faculty, and students who help change family trees and build brighter futures for everyone.

Michelle Schutt is president of Greenfield Community College.

The Importance of Summer Jobs

By Editorial May 7, 2025

Opinion

Editorial

It is mid-May.

Most college students are back home now, and in a month or so, they’ll be joined by thousands of high-school students. Most of these young people will be looking for work, and we can’t stress enough how important it is for the region’s business community to help them find it.

We’ve delivered this message often, but it’s even more critical to send it this year, a time of uncertainty for all business owners and nonprofit managers, and a time when many in both categories are experiencing some form of hardship.

Indeed, there have been several reductions in workforce in our region in recent months. The cutbacks at Baystate Health, which is undergoing what its new leadership is calling an ‘ongoing transformation,’ have garnered large headlines, but many others have gone under the radar.

Meanwhile, many higher-education institutions are also experiencing hard times, with some implementing hiring freezes and other strategies designed to control budgets.

So, for many, it will be difficult to bring on more help, while for others, especially those in the hospitality industry and retail, it is still difficult to find help, and the arrival of summer and college and high-school students is a blessing.

We would encourage all those who can to try to find opportunities for these young people, and for many reasons.

That includes a paycheck, which they need. Beyond that, though, summer jobs, especially those all-important ‘first’ jobs — be they at a local farm, the Big Y or Rocky’s Ace Hardware down the street, Six Flags, or a landscaping company — bring with them many lessons and learning experiences.

Young people come to understand how the world of work operates, the importance of showing up on time every day, and the nuances of teamwork and being part of a team. And if these young people are working, they’re often less likely to be getting into trouble.

At the same time, summer jobs help people make connections with the local business community. Sometimes — not often, but sometimes — a summer job at a hospital, college, manufacturing facility, or accounting firm can lead to a career with one of those employers.

Everyone remembers their first job. Everyone remembers those jobs they had while they were in high school and home from college. They remember them because they were important steps in their development as adults and contributors to a team, a business, and the local economy.

That’s why, even in these difficult and uncertain times, it’s important for businesses of all sizes to create more of these experiences by creating some summer jobs.

Foster Parents Deserve Support

By Contributor May 7, 2025

Opinion

By Marianna Litovich

May is Foster Care Awareness Month, an opportunity for child-welfare advocates and professionals to shine a light on our work in the hopes that folks will be interested, learn about the challenges and rewards of what we do, and engage with us — because everyone can do something to make a difference.

Currently in Western Mass., there are almost 2,000 children in foster care as a result of their family’s inability to meet their needs. These families are typically plagued with social welfare concerns, poverty, substance misuse, and lack of social support, which renders them unable to care for their children.

If a relative or other known adult in the child’s life (such as a teacher, coach, or friend) cannot be identified to care for them while their parents attempt to rehabilitate, they will end up on the doorstep of someone like me — a foster parent who will welcome them, embrace them into the fold of their family, and care for them as long as is necessary. It can be an overwhelming commitment, one my spouse and I made for 15 years.

Despite my training as a psychologist, I was overwhelmed and surprised by how taxing being a foster parent can be, and how much the journey can impact one’s mental health and well-being. A handful of years into our journey, I also started a nonprofit to support other foster families, creating a community of folks all in the daily trenches of foster care. Through All Our Kids Inc., I met countless families who were struggling in the same ways, dealing with the same things, taxing their mental health through the same means.

The challenges of foster care are numerous. It can be complicated and messy and frustrating, pushing many of us to question whether we’re really cut out for this. A lot of people assume the hardest part is managing children’s behavior, or the uncertainty regarding if and when you’ll say goodbye to a child you love. These are hard, but typically not the deal breakers.

Working with hundreds of families over the years, I’ve learned what actually pushes people beyond their tolerance is the stress of dealing with the system: managing appointments, court dates, home visits, lack of response from overworked social workers, juggling all the therapies, the bureaucracy of getting permission for mundane things like haircuts and out-of-state travel, customer-service representatives at a child’s health insurance company … the list goes on and on. These cumulative stressors can really take a toll on a foster parent’s mental health. We need support. And it’s more simple than it sounds.

These days, our society is more open about mental health, giving ourselves and each other permission to seek help through therapy and medication. I applaud these strategies and employ them myself. But they do not reduce the stressors that wear us out and spread us thin. For that, we need to look to each other.

During Foster Care Awareness Month, I encourage everyone who is not a foster parent, and is able, to seek out a foster family and offer one piece of support: cook a meal, mow the lawn, offer a ride, offer childcare … anything that puts actions to the words, “you’ve got this, and we’ve got you.”

You’ll be amazed at the impact a small act of support can have on a family struggling to manage it all. You could, very literally, be keeping a family together. Sometimes the most powerful medicine is support from each other.

Celebrating the 40 Under Forty

By Editorial April 23, 2025

Opinion

Editorial

Turtlepalooza. The Sheriff’s Shuffle. Lynchie and Friends. Swim 1922.

Monson Free Library. The Miracle League of Western Massachusetts. Credit for Life. Girls on the Run.

Head of Internal Audit. Founder and CEO. Dental practice owner. Farm & Food Products Program director.

Respectively, these are some of the unique community programs that members of the 40 Under Forty class of 2025 are involved with; just a few of the nonprofits to which they donate time, energy, and expertise; and a handful of the many impressive titles they now hold.

Collectively, all this helps tell story of this class, which, like the 18 before it, is full of rising stars doing impressive things. And, like previous classes, this one is diverse, although 29 are women, tying a record set just last year; what that trend means, we don’t exactly know.

But it’s diverse in every other sense of that word, including geography — members represent communities from Greenfield to Monson; Holyoke to Ludlow — and business sectors. Indeed, while there are bankers, accountants, and nonprofit managers, there’s also a DJ with his own entertainment company, an EMS coordinator, and the employment program supervisor for the Hampden County Sheriff’s Department.

This rich diversity and collection of inspiring stories helps explain why BusinessWest created its 40 Under Forty program back in 2007. The strategy was simple: solicit nominations from across Western Mass., hand them to a panel of judges, let them decide which ones stand out the most, and then inspire a region by simply telling their stories.

We’re up to 760 of them now, and each one has been different, but with some common denominators — namely, outstanding work in their chosen field and a willingness to give back to the community.

And by highlighting what they do, we learn more about them — whether they keep bees and sell honey or play the guitar or raise milking shorthorns — and this personalizes the stories, bringing into focus the many ways in which they balance life and work.

One of the reasons we created Forty Under 40 and tell these stories is to inspire others to follow the lead of those being honored and find their own way to stand out. And we have to believe that the program has done that.

After reading about these 40 people, how could you not be inspired?

Developing Executive Leaders Is Key

Have you ever met someone who described themselves as a ‘lifelong learner?’ If you have, then you likely know why the ongoing development of executives is critical to your organization’s success.

In today’s fast-paced, ever-evolving business landscape, executive-level leaders face immense pressure to guide their organizations toward success while navigating complex challenges. The ability to make strategic decisions, foster innovation, and inspire teams is crucial — and it all begins with continuous development of leadership.

Executive development is not merely a luxury; it’s a necessity. Leaders at the top often set the tone for organizational culture and performance. By investing in the growth of executives, leaders strengthen their ability to adapt to new market trends, embrace diverse perspectives, and foster resilience in the face of uncertainty.

Leaders often feel they are responsible for having all the answers, and they put enormous pressure on themselves to be everything to everyone. In reality, we know that no one leader knows everything. We can, however, increase our knowledge while sharing experiences and challenges with peers. Developing yourself through peer learning can enhance essential skills such as emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and decision making, all of which are indispensable for effective leadership.

Facilitated peer-group conversations can provide leaders with a unique platform to connect, learn, and collaborate. Executive roles can be isolating, as individuals in these positions may feel reluctant to share vulnerabilities or challenges within their organization. Peer groups offer a safe space to exchange ideas, seek advice, and gain valuable insights from others who have faced similar situations. These conversations foster a sense of community and spark innovative solutions that might not emerge in isolation.

When executive development and peer-group interactions are prioritized, organizations reap the benefits. Leaders become more agile, insightful, and equipped to tackle both internal and external challenges. Investing in the development of executive leaders is not just an investment in individuals, it’s an investment in the future of the organization. By cultivating a culture of growth, collaboration, and shared wisdom, businesses empower their leaders to thrive and lead with purpose.

If you or someone you work with is an executive who would benefit from actively participating in an executive peer group, the Employers Assoc. of the NorthEast will offer an executive-coach-facilitated executive peer group starting in June. Visit www.eane.org/executive-peer-group for more information and to register.

Community Support

River Valley Counseling Center recently received a donation of $1,239.50 from the Valley Players’ February production, Love Letters. Over four performances, the net ticket revenue came to $2,479. For each play the Valley Players produces, a local nonprofit organization whose mission aligns with important themes in the play is selected to receive half of the net ticket revenue. One of the two characters in Love Letters struggles with a number of mental-health challenges with a lack of necessary resources to handle it appropriately. For that reason, River Valley Counseling Center was selected.

Hampshire Meadow Family & Pediatric Dentistry to Expand

HADLEY — Hampshire Meadow Family & Pediatric Dentistry is breaking ground on a cutting-edge, 4,600-square-foot facility at the corner of Route 9 and East Street. This will allow the practice to meet skyrocketing demand, as its current facility — built just five years ago — has outgrown its capacity. In addition to increasing capacity for general dentistry, the new facility will serve as a regional hub for children with severe cases of decay or special healthcare needs. In 2024, the practice provided 2,962 appointments for MassHealth patients, with 2,100 pediatric and 380 adult Medicaid patients on its active roster. The practice owners hope to attract more skilled dental professionals to the region. The new facility represents a nearly $3 million investment by practice owners Dr. Cyrus Safizadeh and Dr. Noelle Nubani in the Pioneer Valley. This is in addition to more than $1 million they had previously invested in the current space. It is being built by Sweitzer Construction of Monson and 20 local subcontractors and materials vendors. The building is being designed by Larry Tuttle of Architectural Insights of Palmer. The Sweitzer team has decades of experience building state-of-the-art dental and medical facilities and built Hampshire Meadow’s original facility five years ago.
