ADAMS, Mass. — Adams Community Bank (ACB) announced the addition of two experienced individuals to its leadership team. 
 
Amanda Belanger has joined as Vice President of Human Resources, and Shannon Park as Vice President of Retail and Deposit Operations.
 
In her role as VP of Human Resources, Belanger joins the Bank's established HR department. She will oversee employee engagement and development, as well as workforce planning across all levels of the organization.
 
Throughout her nearly two decade career, she has served in HR leadership and consulting roles across the non-profit and health services sectors in Berkshire County.

She will play a role in continuing to align retail and deposit operations with the Bank’s mission of delivering community-focused, relationship-driven banking.
 
Park brings over 19 years of experience in retail banking and operations management, with expertise in streamlining processes and enhancing customer experience. Park obtained a BS in Business Administration from Southern New Hampshire University.

Letter: Christine Hoyt Best Choice for Adams Select Board on May 4

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

I am a proud resident of Adams, and it's clear that our town is moving in a positive direction. From the revitalization of the Adams Theater to the opening of the Greylock Glen Outdoor Center, we are seeing meaningful progress take shape.

Christine Hoyt has been a driving part of this momentum since 2017. During her time on the Select Board, she has worked to address critical priorities, such as infrastructure improvements (like the $6.5 million wastewater treatment upgrades), economic development, and the preservation of essential town services.

Re-electing Christine to a fourth term ensures continuity in this important work. Her role on the Local Government Advisory Commission (LGAC) enables her to advocate directly for Adams at the state level, helping secure general government aid, Chapter 90 funding, and support for public education. She also brings valuable leadership experience through her service as president of the Berkshire County Select Board Association, District 1 representative on both the Massachusetts Select Board Association and the Massachusetts Municipal Association Board of Directors, and her work with the Massachusetts Interlocal Insurance Association. This level of experience and representation is an asset our town cannot afford to lose.

Christine has proven she has the vision and the work ethic to lead Adams for another three years. I hope you will join me in voting for her on Monday, May 4, and keep the momentum going.

The election will be held on Monday, May 4, 2026, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Adams Memorial Building, 30 Columbia St.
