Dalton Select Board Member Joseph Diver Steps Down

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — After serving on the board for almost two terms, about 5 1/2 years, Select Board member Joseph Diver announced that he would be stepping down on Oct. 1.
 
"It's been an absolute honor to serve the residents of Dalton being as an elected official. I hope we give [voters] the opportunity to have candidates campaign and have an election for whoever may replace me," Diver said on Zoom during Monday's Select Board meeting. 
 
At a future meeting, the Select Board will discuss whether to hold a special election to fill his vacant seat or wait until Diver's term expires next June and have his seat up for election as part of the standard Select Board election.
 
In July, Diver was given the opportunity to move back to his hometown of Brockton to become vice president and chief Information officer at Brockton Signature Healthcare. He previously held the same role at Holyoke Medical Center. 
 
This new career direction is taking his time away from the activities of the board and the town, Diver said. 
 
"I definitely do have to make this personal decision, and it's a difficult one, but it's the right thing to do for the board and for the town, but it's been an absolute privilege to serve with all of you and prior board members, town manager and all of our town employees," Diver said 
 
During the meeting, Select Board member John Boyle and Vice Chairman Daniel Esko thanked Diver for serving on the board.
