BENNINGTON >> A former trustee of the local hospital will now serve as its human resources manager, leaving a successful manufacturer to do so.

Kevin Dailey, a Shaftsbury native, has been the human resources director at Mack Molding in Arlington for 15 years. In January he will become the vice president of human resources at Southwestern Vermont Health Care, the parent company of Southwestern Vermont Medical Center.

To take this new job, Dailey resigned from the SVHC Board of Trustees, where he had sat for the past five years serving on its quality and finance committees, and its governance committee's second vice chair.

"Kevin is a particularly successful human resources professional and has had a terrific run at Mack," said SVHC President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas Dee. "We are excited about him coming on board as our vice president of human resources."

Dee said Dailey's open-door approach, experience, and familiarity with SVMC will be tremendous assets to the health care group. Dailey has also practiced law for 17 years.

Dailey said he is excited to take on this new challenge, "but it was a very difficult decision to leave. Mack Molding is a great place to work."

Mack Molding is a plastics manufacturer based in Arlington with a plant in Cavendish as well as facilities in Connecticut, Massachusetts, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Mexico. Among other things, the company makes parts for the medical industry.

Taking Dailey's place at Mack is Nancy Cefalo, who has been with the company for 14 years according to a statement released Thursday.
