Mocksville Seeks Town Manager
Mocksville’s Manager is retiring after 35 years as a public servant in communities across the Piedmont Triad. The Council appreciates and supports the role of Town Manager.
The successful manager needs to communicate well with the staff and board. They will need a strong understanding of municipal finances and the ability to plug into all of the social aspects of small-town living. The Town is experiencing exponential growth in both commercial and residential development. The Town needs someone who can work with the various government agencies and the Town Board to promote growth and maintain a “small town” atmosphere.
This work’s core components are updating the zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan over the next two years. That process of consensus building, information sharing, and visioning requires effective facilitation and guidance by the Town Manager. A focal point of this community growth is the development of a 5+ acre parcel in downtown Mocksville.
A successful candidate must demonstrate leadership, administration, budgeting, and economic development skills as applied in a municipal management setting. The successful candidate will also be able to communicate effectively and represent the Town publicly while positively engaging citizens.
The Town seeks an experienced public administrator with 5 years of progressive experience, including three years of senior organizational management experience, preferably in NC municipal administration. This experience should include directing diverse local government services and supervising staff.
The basic desired qualifications include a bachelor’s degree in finance, business, or public administration. A candidate may distinguish themselves with a master’s degree. Mocksville emphasizes the Town Manager’s membership in the International City and County Management Association (ICMA) and the North Carolina City and County Management Association (NCCCMA). The Board supports and encourages the Manager to be or become an ICMA credentialed manager within a reasonable period of being employed.
