Western Mass Business Show on 10.12.24 — Robin Bialecki & Pat Brough
In The Western Mass. Business Show
Join us as we hear from Robin Bialecki ED of the Easthampton Community Center about her dedicated approach to helping the community meet it’s needs. Under her leadership (since 2008) the ECC has grown to helping all four counties reach the gaps that they have in their respective needs. From food insecurity, housing, job loss, relocation, and more, the ECC has risen to the level that the clients demand (open 7 days). Robin and her team have a hard time saying no and as a result have steadily increased their capacity to serve more and more clients for over 46 years. As one of the only gluten and allergy free pantries in WMA they get many requests for food specific and sensitive care products. Robin gets this done through her over 200 volunteer staff that help throughout the year, including Pat Brough, Sales and Marketing Director for Finck & Perras Insurance. 10 years ago, he helped co-create the much beloved event Give Em the Bird 5K which is a benefit for the ECC. In 2015, they raised 10,000 and they now hope to raise more than 35,000 this year. With over 55 sponsors, I think they have a shot at having their best year ever.

The Hustler Files Ep 82
CHOSEN BY THE PEOPLE, WITH GOD’S GRACE, TO UPHOLD THE RULE OF LAW
Sheriff Kieran Donahue of Canyon County, Idaho, will tell you it’s humbling to be a Sheriff that’s responsible for a jurisdiction that encompasses 602 square miles, with a population of close to 250,000, but then again, Sheriff Donahue is no ordinary Sheriff. Sheriff Kieran Donahue’s career reads like an adventure novel and maybe that’s because it’s been just that. From an Alaskan Fish & Game Warden, to a scuba diver on the Exxon Valdez, to working undercover on the Federal Task Force, he’ll also tell you that his career has been undeniably directed by God. As Sheriff Donahue prepares to take on a fourth term for Canyon County, he’s been privileged to also hold his current role as President of the National Sheriffs’ Association, oh and let’s not forget that he’s also a subject matter expert on the Mexican Cartels, their relationship with China, the Northern and Southern borders, and the people and drugs that are being smuggled into the United States, on a daily basis.
