Manchester Township is seeking a new council member following the resignation of Council President Roxanne Conniff who stepped down from her position citing personal circumstances that require her to move out of town.

Conniff, who has served on the Township Council since taking office on January 3, 2023, announced her resignation during the last council meeting, during which she reflected on her deep roots in the township.

“I was born and raised here in Manchester. This town helped shape my values, my sense of community, and the way I see the world,” Conniff said. “It is where I learned what it means to help those in need, to take pride in where you come from, and to give back whenever you can.”

Conniff’s unexpired term runs through December 31, 2026 and the Township Council is now seeking a replacement to fill the vacancy. According to a public notice issued by Municipal Clerk Teri Giercyk, interested candidates must submit resumes by May 5 for consideration.

Interested residents should send their resume to the Municipal Clerk.

Councilwoman Michele Zolezi, who has served on the council since being appointed in 2021 to fill the seat held by Robert Hudak and then won election to finish the term, will replace Conniff.
