MORRISVILLE MAKING PROGRESS IN NEW TOWN MANAGER SELECTION


MORRISVILLE, NC – Morrisville’s Town Council has been hard at work narrowing down the field to select the next Town Manager. Starting with an applicant pool of 111, individuals have been evaluated using a multi-method screening process including surveys, phone interviews, essays, and management skill assessments. The evaluation process was designed by Developmental Associates based on feedback from Council, staff and the community.

Council carefully vetted applicants and decided to invite five semi-finalists to Morrisville to participate in a management assessment skill process. Evaluators included Managers and Subject Matter Experts from Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay Varina, Wake Forest, Zebulon, Carrboro, Durham, Clayton, Southern Pines, Wake County, Orange County, and RDU Airport. Council will be reviewing results and determining which attendant(s) to invite for final interviews. A decision is anticipated by the end of April.

“We are happy with the process and pleased with the assistance we have received from Developmental Associates. I am confident that we have well qualified candidates from which to select our next Town Manager,” said Mayor Jackie Holcombe.
