PITTSFIELD — Berkshire Regional Planning Commission has appointed program managers for two divisions of public health work at the agency: public health planning and public health services.
Previously, all functions of these two divisions fell under one program area led by the recently retired Laura Kittross.
Lydia Shulman, newly appointed public health services program manager, has been an integral part of the BRPC team for more than four years. She began as the Public Health Alliance’s shared services coordinator, helping organize and strategically strengthen services for local boards of health.
Over time, her role expanded to assistant manager of the public health program as she took on oversight of additional initiatives and programs, including the Berkshire-Hampden Regional Training Hub and the FDA food safety program.
