Citizen Survey Part Of Manchester General Manager Search Process

MANCHESTER, CT — Manchester officials have released a survey as part of the search for a new general manager.

After spending 15 years as Manchester's general manager, Scott Shanley officially retired from the job in July after announcing his intentions in March. The Board of Directors has now appointed a search committee and hired GovHRUSA to conduct the recruitment and selection process for hiring a new general manager.

A statement accompanying the survey said, "The Board and search committee believe it is important to solicit feedback from the community and organizations regarding the characteristics and traits the new general manager should possess as well as the opportunities and challenges they may face in that role."

The questions address five areas:

• Residency
• The type of leader desired
• Mangement style
• Skill sets
• Priorities

There is also a spot in the survey for general comments.
