Consultation has concluded
Armidale Regional Council Interim Administrator Viv May is inviting the community to become involved in the recruitment of the next Council General Manager.
Mr May confirmed that Mark Anderson from Local Government NSW has been engaged to assist in the process.
Mr May said members of the community will have the opportunity to meet with Mark to have an informal discussion on what they would expect from the next General Manager from a community lead perspective.
"I will be acting as Chair for the meeting and it will not be open to former or suspended Councilors to attend as I am looking for a fresh start. The focus will be on the future and we will not be dwelling on the past.”
Mr Anderson said part of the role of a council general manager is to ensure there is a strong level of community engagement so that the community is kept informed of current priorities and issues in the LGA. This includes effective consultation when input submissions are sought on Council decisions. A disengaged community is not conducive to strong community strategic planning.
“This is an opportunity for residents to share thoughts so that the selection committee has a strong insight into those key attributes to use in the selection process. It will allow the selection committee to structure interview questions and use psychometric profiling to inform part of the decision making on the preferred candidate for the GM position in addition to the essential skills and experience required for the role," he said.
The meeting will be held on Tuesday 18 August, 2020 from 6.30pm-8.00pm at a location in Armidale to be confirmed. Places are limited to 30 people and residents wishing to participate can register their interest below by 5pm, Thursday 13 August.
