If your town is considering a change in its form of government, the Massachusetts Municipal Management Association offers some free resources that can help.

As an introduction to the manager form of government, the MMMA has compiled an information kit that answers many frequently asked questions, describes the different forms of government with a manager, and provides information from the International City/County Management Association on recruiting qualified manager candidates.

The MMMA has also organized a speakers bureau of members that are prepared to meet with charter commissions, boards of selectmen, or citizens groups to discuss the options available to communities.
