*In a highly unusual “tie” situation, there are two Lifetime honorees this year – two forces of nature who have been at it for more than 30 years, making huge impact in our community, starting from nothing and expanding to the huge and stable organizations they both retired from in the past year!  The Berkshires is lucky to have had these two tireless women leading the way in their respective sectors for over three decades.
