Nonprofit Triangle Inc. honors Chief Banking Officer with community leadership award

BOSTON, May 6, 2026 — Triangle, Inc., a nonprofit based in Malden, Massachusetts, that provides disability support services, recently recognized several supporters for their efforts in furthering its mission, including Michael McCurdy, Beacon Bank’s Chief Banking Officer.

McCurdy received the Stan Black Leadership Award, which recognizes individuals whose dedication and guidance have made a lasting impact on Triangle’s mission and long-term success, at Triangle’s Annual Awards Ceremony & Fundraiser on April 29 in Cambridge.

Triangle is dedicated to empowering people with disabilities and their families to enjoy rich, fulfilling lives by providing employment, education, housing, and community-based support services. Other award winners included State Rep. Aaron Michlewitz, House Ways and Means chair, who was honored as its 2026 Public Official of the Year, and the Everett Public Schools and the City of Everett, which were honored with its Inclusion Community Award.

McCurdy has been involved with Triangle for nearly two decades, serving on its board for 12 years, including as board president from 2016 to 2018.

 “During a period of significant growth and transition — including CEO and program leadership changes and the relocation of all day services sites to new, purpose-built facilities — Mike was a steady hand and trusted guide,” said Triangle CEO Rachel Kaprielian.

 “Through his transformational leadership and expertise in law and compliance, he helped Triangle navigate both strategic growth and programmatic evolution on sound financial footing and a clear vision,” she said.

Based in Boston and a resident of Wellesley, Massachusetts, McCurdy joined Beacon Bank in 2025 following the merger between Brookline Bancorp, Inc. and Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc. to create Beacon Financial Corporation. He served as the co-president and chief operating officer of Brookline Bancorp, Inc. from 2021 to 2025. McCurdy is an adjunct professor of law at Suffolk Law School and currently teaches banking law.
