Summary

Westford’s nominating committee emphasized required experience with NEMRC financial software and strong writing and oral communication skills for the Town Treasurer and Delinquent Tax Collector openings, and noted limited remote work may be available.

Committee members on April 28 emphasized that candidates should demonstrate hands-on experience with the New England Municipal Resource Center (NEMRC) software platform and proficiency in Microsoft Office. Pat Haller said such software experience is “of high importance” given Westford’s current finance and reporting setup.

Members also listed interpersonal skills as priorities for the Delinquent Tax Collector role—empathy, clear writing and oral communication—and agreed to include these expectations in draft vacancy posts. Tommy O’Connor said there is some opportunity for remote work for the roles, though specifics would depend on operational needs.
