Show Notes
This is your Town Manager here for the December employee/volunteer spotlight. This month, I wanted to do something slightly different.
In the first spotlight we met our new Town Manager who is… oh, right that's me. Then we met Captain Josh Merriam at the Hanover Fire Department. We took a trip out to the Etna Library and heard from librarian Sarah Molesworth about her one month long hike on the Long Trail in Vermont. Then we shifted into land use, and sat down with Bill Fischel and and Bernie Waugh from the ZBA. Then we moved into election gear and spoke with our town clerk, moderator, volunteer ballot clerks, and a supervisor of the checklist about what it takes to put on a local election.
In this podcast, we're going to keep spotlighting staff and volunteers, in addition to community members and projects, every month going forward. But I wanted to take a step a back and share some reflections about why we're doing this.
Check out this short episode that I recorded to give some background on why doing this is so important and as a thank you to the nearly 180 staff who keep things running smoothly for all of us, every day, often well behind the scenes.
Happy New Year and thank you to all of our wonderful staff, as well as our many volunteers. Thanks to the Selectboard and Town Meeting for their support. And thanks to all of the community members who take the time to learn, engage, and support the things that make Hanover such a special place to live and work.
Have you had a great or interesting interaction with one of our staff and would like to see them featured in an upcoming podcast episode? Contact me at [email protected] and we'll see what we can do!
