The Board of Selectmen  is seeking residents  to serve on a committee  to guide the search for a new town manager. John Petrin recently left the position for the town administrator’s job in Burlington; Mark Purple  is serving as interim town manager. Residents interested in joining the search committee can fill out a talent bank form  on the town's website,  www.ashlandmass.com, or at Town Hall. The forms should be returned to Susan Robie  in the selectmen's office, or e-mailed to srobie@ashlandmass.com. Selectmen hope to interview candidates for the volunteer positions during their Aug. 8 meeting. For more information, call the selectmen's office at 508-881-0100, ext. 614.
