Margaret Tantillo named to Dress for Success Worldwide advisory group

The head of a western Massachusetts nonprofit that helps low-income women gain economic independence is being internationally recognized.

Margaret Tantillo, executive director of Dress for Success Western Massachusetts, has been invited to join a newly-formed group that will advise other affiliate organizations.

As one of 16 members of the Dress for Success Worldwide Affiliate Advisory Council, Tantillo will represent the northeastern United States.

WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Tantillo.

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.
