So far, Community Board 7 has received about 10 applications for the district manager position that’s been vacant since July 1. CB7 Chair Greg Faulkner said he expects to receive several more applications, especially since an advertisement for the position just went up on the city’s Web site a week and a half ago.
Faulkner said the board will continue receiving and reviewing applications until Sept. 5 or until the position is filled.
Since longtime DM Rita Kessler resigned nearly two months ago, the borough president’s community board specialist, Tom Lucania, has been filling in on a part-time basis and doing a great job, Faulkner said.
Ed. note: To apply for the CB7 District Manager position, send a cover letter, resume, and a writing sample to: Search Committee, Jerome Avenue Station, P.O. Box 491, Bronx, NY 10468.
