PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Bishop West Real Estate welcomed three agents: Pam Tworig, Kolleen Schmitt, and Shannon Davis.
 
Tworig, formerly with Moresi Real Estate Partners, has called the Berkshires and Southern Vermont home for over 40 years. With deep-rooted relationships among local business owners, contractors, and residents, she brings invaluable connections and insight to the market. Prior to real estate, she spent more than three decades managing properties and designing commercial and residential landscapes. Licensed in both Massachusetts and Vermont, Tworig will play a key role in expanding Bishop West's presence in Southern Vermont. "I'm thrilled to join a brokerage that prioritizes professionalism and education," said Tworig. "Helping clients find the perfect property—whether residential, commercial, or investment—is my passion, and I'm eager to contribute to Bishop West's growth in Vermont and beyond."
 
Kolleen Schmitt, a retired U.S. Coast Guard Chief Warrant Officer, has been a licensed real estate professional in Massachusetts since 2009. Holding the Military Relocation Professional (MRP) certification, she specializes in assisting veterans in achieving their dream of homeownership. An avid skier and licensed horseback riding instructor, Kolleen brings the same discipline and commitment to real estate as she does to her outdoor passions. 
 
"Bishop West's dedication to its agents and clients is what drew me in," she said. "I'm excited to bring my experience to this dynamic team."
 
Shannon Davis, a longtime resident of Central Berkshire County, has been a full-time real estate agent for over seven years. With 20 years of professional customer service experience, Davis excels in communication and staying ahead of technological advancements in the industry. "Helping people achieve their real estate goals is what drives me," Davis shared. 
 
"Bishop West provides the support and education that allows agents like me to thrive and, in turn, deliver the best service to our clients," she said.
 
Corey Bishop, co-owner of Bishop West Real Estate, expressed enthusiasm about the new additions.
 
"Pam, Kolleen, and Shannon are all dedicated professionals who embody the values we stand for—integrity, education, and exceptional client service," he said. "Their skills and passion make them outstanding additions to our team."
 
Co-owner Peter West added: "At Bishop West, we invest in our agents, knowing that well-supported professionals provide the best results for their clients. Pam, Kolleen, and Shannon's decision to join us speaks to the strength of our brokerage, and we are excited to watch them grow with us."

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — More than 300 community members attended the 40 Under Forty Awards celebration on Thursday, recognizing individuals who are dedicated to improving the quality of life for those in the Berkshires. 
 
Berkshire Community College received several hundred nominations this year and narrowed it down to 40 unsung heroes who have achieved many accomplishments, college President Ellen Kennedy said. 
 
Kennedy said it was wonderful to see previous winners nominating the next generation. 
 
"They sort of understand the importance of what this recognition can symbolize to people and the inspiration it can provide to people to be connected and committed to what's happening in the Berkshires," she said. "So it's been exciting to see it evolve that way."
 
The event is a moment to both pause but also go forward, Kennedy said afterward.
 
"So pause and really celebrate all of this talent and interest and these really creative, innovative, hard working, committed individuals, but it's also a moment to push forward on the next round of entrepreneurial innovation that can happen in the Berkshires. And a lot of these people bring that spirit to that," she said. 
 
The winners come from diverse backgrounds, including longtime residents with deep roots in the Berkshires as well as newcomers who have recently moved to the area and are already making a mark, Kennedy said.
