VANCOUVER – As part of Vancouver’s search for its next city manager, the city of Vancouver is hosting two community Q&A sessions with the finalists for the position.
“Providing an opportunity for the community to meet the finalists for our next city manager is an important part of the overall hiring process,” said Mayor Anne McEnerny-Ogle. “The questions and priorities raised by the community will help the Council make this critical hire.”
During these moderated discussions, candidates will share their thoughts about the future of Vancouver, be asked about community priorities identified in a recent city manager survey, and answer questions submitted by community members. Questions can be submitted now at beheardvancouver.org/cmrecruitment. Written questions will also be collected from audiences the day of the respective event.
The names of the finalists will be released the week of the events.
