Hadley fills long-vacant roles, including assistant treasurer and conservation agent

HADLEY — Several vacancies at Town Hall, the Senior Center and the public safety and public works departments are being filled. The Select Board recently formalized the appointments at meetings in late October and early November, bringing people on board to positions that, in some cases, had been unfilled for weeks or months, adding workload to remaining employees and town volunteers. Town Administrator Nate Malloy explained to the Select Board that he aims to get positions filled as fast as possible. “There is a process to select candidates, and we try to move quickly and efficiently,” Malloy said. Malloy said that resumes, interviews and reference checks for department heads can take time to go through, but he and Assistant Town Administrator Jennifer Sanders James, who coordinates human resources for the town, try to expedite things. Jessica Omundsen, who has been Orange’s assistant collector, is stepping in to fill the role of assistant treasurer and collector.
