Wanna be a trailblazer?
Three communities will soon be looking for their first ever manager.
Crook County (OR) is transitioning to a commissioner/manager form of government.
After more than a year of discussion – and just days before the May primary candidate filing deadline – the Crook County Court voted 2-1 Friday to change the county’s form of government from two commissioners and a judge who is the board chair to three equal commissioners and a county manager they'll appoint.
In Delaware, the Frankford Town Council is opting to pursue professional management.
And Garfield Township leaders in Michigan "have all but agreed to add a township administrator." The township is up near Traverse City.
Being "the first" ever manager for a community can be very challenging and incredibly rewarding.
In Episode 28 of the City Manager Unfiltered Podcast, I interviewed Amanda Mack, ICMA-CM, EMPA. She shared her experience about being the first manager for Watertown, South Dakota.
You can listen to that episode here.
This week, three more local government agencies doing in-house recruitments have included their listings in the newsletter because they can spot a deal from a mile away.
It only costs $199 to inclue your vacancies in the fastest growing local government newsletter on LinkedIn.
