A philanthropy hub for the greater Springfield, Massachusetts area is looking for a new leader.

After 17 years with the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts – the last decade as president and CEO – Katie Allan Zobel recently announced she will leave the organization in September.

Zobel, whose tenure at the Foundation began with a three-month temporary assignment, spoke with WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
