Longtime commissioner says he will step down; SHA begins recruitment and outreach
Summary
Commissioner S. Swanger said he will not seek another term after 40 years and will help recruit associate members; the board noted outreach channels and that a tenant board member application from T. Vitvitsky is supported by the MVTO.
Commissioner S. Swanger told the Sudbury Housing Authority on Feb. 10 that after 40 years he is ready to step down. Swanger said he is prepared to finish his current term but will not run for another, and that he will actively recruit associate members to support the board’s work.
The board discussed potential outreach channels for recruitment, including the League of Women Voters, the Sudbury Weekly, the SHA website, the Clergy Association and individual outreach. Separately, an application from Commissioner T. Vitvitsky to continue serving as the tenant board member has been filed and the MVTO supports her candidacy; residents have been notified of the upcoming vacancy.
Why it matters: leadership turnover and the recruitment of associate members affect the board’s composition and continuity of institutional knowledge. The board’s outreach plan aims to broaden candidate awareness.
No formal vote accompanied the announcement; recruitment and outreach actions will proceed as staff and commissioners implement the plan.
