NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — MountainOne has promoted Jonathan Denmark, a Pittsfield resident, to executive vice president of MountainOne Bank.
 
In addition to his new leadership responsibilities, Denmark will continue to serve as president and chief operating officer of MountainOne Insurance Agency.
 
Denmark will celebrate 10 years with MountainOne in March. Early in his tenure as president and COO of MountainOne Insurance, he led the consolidation of MountainOne's Insurance agencies — True North Insurance and Coakley, Pierpan, Dolan, and Collins — and oversaw the rebranding of the combined agencies to MountainOne Insurance. His efforts also established a strong partnership with OneDigital for the agency's group benefits business line. Under his leadership, MountainOne Insurance has continued to expand, acquiring three agencies, opening a new office in Stockbridge, and expanding the agency's presence to the Pioneer Valley. 
 
"It is a true privilege to announce Jonathan's promotion to Executive Vice President," said Robert Fraser, president & CEO of MountainOne Bank. "Over the past decade, Jonathan has consistently demonstrated visionary leadership and a deep commitment to MountainOne's mission. His ability to drive growth, foster innovation, and inspire collaboration has been instrumental to our success. This appointment reflects our confidence in his ability to guide MountainOne toward even greater achievements."
 
Officials say Denmark's growth strategy, coupled with his deep expertise and unwavering dedication, have positioned the agency as a core contributor to MountainOne's overall success.
 
He is highly regarded within both the insurance industry as well as the local community and recently assumed the role of Board Chair of the Pittsfield Economic Development Authority, which oversees the William Stanley Business Park. The park, home to the MountainOne building at Silver Lake and the Berkshire Innovation Center, is poised for significant development in the coming years. Denmark's leadership at PEDA will further align economic growth opportunities with community development in Pittsfield and beyond.
 
"I am deeply honored to step into the role of executive vice president at MountainOne Bank," said Denmark. "As we look ahead, I remain dedicated to advancing MountainOne's mission of delivering meaningful solutions that create lasting value for our customers, employees, and communities."

Berkshires Remember First Responders, Military Personnel Lost at 9/11 and Aftermath

North Adams Mayor Jennifer Macksey, with Fire Chief Brent Lefebvre speaks at Friday's memorial. 

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The county's two cities held memorials on Friday morning to mark the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks. 

Great Barrington was scheduled to hold a dedication of piece of steel from the World Trade Center at 6 p.m.

North Adams held its ceremony in the fire station's side garden starting at exactly 8:46 a.m., the time Flight 11 crashed into the World Trade Center's North Tower.
 
The small square of grass was packed with police officers, firefighters, wire and alarm personnel, dispatchers, and Northern Berkshire EMS employees, and city employees, officials and community members. 
 
After the ceremonial tolling of the bell, an honor guard presented the colors.
 
Mayor Jennifer Macksey said it felt odd welcoming people to a very solemn event.
 
"What happened 25 years ago put a mark on emergency services. It put additional pressure on police, fire, EMS, and dispatchers," Macksey said. "While we remember those who lost their lives during 9/11, and those who ran to help as many as they could during 9/11, we have to pause and appreciate those who continue to serve despite that awful threat that occurred 25 years ago."
 
She said it was a direct attack on the United States and all of its people.
 
"It was a question of our freedoms and our ability to be safe in our communities," the mayor said. "I can say today that here in North Adams, it could happen to us, but I know with the professionalism of our Fire Department, Police Department, EMS, and our dispatch team, we are a better community; we are a safer community than we were 25 years ago."
