The Select Board continues to be committed to a process that is open to public view and
participation. In addition to the resumes already available on the Town website, each finalist will
submit an actual memo s/he addressed to their appointing authority regarding a particular issue or
opportunity in their community, and these will be added to the Town Manager Search 2015-2016
section of the Select Board page of the Town website www.amherstma.gov/selectboard or
http://amherstma.gov/2201/Town-Manager-Search-2015-2016 as they are received. The three
afternoon informal Community Q & A sessions for the public and staff will be facilitated by Lynch in
the Town Room, Town Hall.
The three evening interviews during the special Select Board meetings on Monday April 25, Tuesday
April 26, and Wednesday April 27, 2016 will be live broadcast by Amherst Media from the Town
Room at Town Hall beginning at 6:00 pm. No regular Select Board business is anticipated for those
three meetings, and there will be no Public Comment portion opening those meetings.
The Select Board encourages our entire community to consider what characteristics, skills, and
experiences they hope for in our new Town Manager, and to continue to provide that input via email
to selectboard@amherstma.gov. Written comments will be accepted through the end of business on
Friday April 29, 2016. Select Board deliberation will take place in brief meetings prior to the first
two nights of Annual Town Meeting on Monday May 2 and Wednesday May 4, and at a special
Select Board meeting held at Town Hall on Thursday May 5, 2016 at 6:00 pm.
