Wellesley Select Board reinstates Business Liaison role
In a move aimed at revitalizing communication between local government and the private sector, the Wellesley Select Board officially reinstated the Business Liaison position this month.
The role, which had been phased out in January 2023, traditionally served as a bridge between a Select Board member and the Wellesley business community to act as a primary point of contact for Town Hall staff.
Chair Marjorie Freiman announced the reinstatement during the April 14 Select Board meeting, confirming that Beth Sullivan Woods has been appointed to the role. Sullivan Woods is no stranger to the responsibilities, having previously served as the liaison before the position was discontinued three years ago.
As the designated “conduit of information,” Sullivan Woods’ primary focus will be ensuring that the needs and concerns of the business community are heard by town government. She will provide regular updates to both the Select Board and Corey Testa, the Town’s Assistant Executive Director.
