On Monday, FFIO Director Quentin Palfrey joined local officials and community leaders in City of Pittsfield to discuss how the Healey-Driscoll administration can support local governments with bringing in more federal funding. We were thrilled to meet with leaders from all across Berkshire County to share information on resources available to them and hear about their federal funding needs and priorities. The event in Pittsfield was the first of a series of community events FFIO will be hosting across the state. Thank you to the Berkshire Innovation Center for hosting us!

Our Chief Learning Officer Dennis Rebelo, Ph.D. has a Story Vault. It's an actual vault. And from within that vault, we'll be launching a new #Podcast series starting in January 2025. Here are a few words from Dr. D about the show, from a recent article in the Berkshire Business Journal: "I now have a vault and I guess it’s mine to do something with, something of value. I decided the answer was to bring key contributors to the BIC into the vault to do what I’ve been doing for years, to unpack the power of story from people’s lives and synthesize their stories to their work in the Berkshires community. "Ben Sosne and I have decided to host 50 individuals at BIC Works on the campus of MASS MoCA. These invitees will be individuals who are paramount to the work we share at the Berkshire Innovation Center. Through long form dialogue - in the vault of course - their motivations, key life moments, and current rationale for working #InTheBerkshires will become center stage. We call the education we do at the BIC “learning in the fringe” because it's a space in between the higher ed and industry. These conversations are part of that work."
