The League of Women Voters of Concord-Carlisle will begin its First Friday series with a focus on the Town Manager Selection Process. Panelists will be Tom McKean, Concord Select Board Chair; Arthur Fulman, former Concord Select Board member; Nancy Tavernier, Clerk, Acton Town Manager Search Committee; and Carl Valente, retired Lexington Town Manager.

The speakers will provide the audience with: 1) an overview of the Concord Town Manager selection process and time line, 2) insight on how a neighboring town conducted the search process, and 3) an explanation of the roles of the Town Manager and Select Board under Concord’s strong-Town Manager charter. There will be a discussion about how these roles have evolved over the years.

Light refreshments will be served, and the program is open to the public.
