Everyone is invited to a “relaxed meeting” Nov. 17 at 5:30 p.m. in the Town Hall to have their voices heard on the qualities needed in the next town manager for Waynesville.

Town Manager Lee Galloway will retire June 30. Aldermen hired the firm, Developmental Associates, to aid them in their recruitment and evaluation of applicants for the position. Part of that process includes this public meeting.

The Board of Aldermen will hold a special meeting on Nov. 16 to meet with the consultant and review the process. That meeting is open to the public, too.
