Mansfield Town Manager Opening Reposted

MANSFIELD, MA — Some candidates for the Mansfield town manager opening have been interviewed, with more hopefully on the way.

According to an update from selectmen Chairman Michael Trowbridge, the search committee has begun reviewing applications, conducting in-person interviews, and background checks. The position has been posted a second time to enlarge the pool and obtain the best possible candidates. The posting is set to expire before the committee's Nov. 2 meeting.

Once the committee selects their finalists, they will be forwarded to the selectmen for final interviews. Only the names of the finalists will be made public and all interviews before then will be done by the search committee in executive session.

The town has been without a full time town manager since Bill Ross abruptly resigned in April. John Stanbrook, the town's finance director and town accountant, has severed as the interim town manager.
