Brattleboro’s Finance Director Stepping Down in January

The Town of Brattleboro is announcing the resignation of Brattleboro’s Finance Director, Kimberly Frost, who served in the role since April 2022. Frost will be stepping down from the position on Jan. 3, 2025, to pursue a different opportunity.

“Starting this next chapter was a difficult decision, but I’m grateful to have served my community,” said Frost.

During her tenure with the Town of Brattleboro, Frost was instrumental in re-uniting the Finance Department with the Treasurer’s Office and thereby finding efficiencies to reduce Town staff by one position. She also supported Town departments in the transition to a new financial system through the platform OpenGov. The goal of that project was to modernize and enhance the efficiency and transparency of the Town’s finances including an online publication that provides detailed expenditure information in an interactive format.

“Kim has made lasting contributions to Brattleboro, particularly through her work with modernizing the Town’s financial system,” said Brattleboro Town Manager John Potter. “But what I am most grateful for is Kim’s support of and active participation on the Town’s management team, helping everyone do better.”

With budget season underway, Potter underscored that the Town intends to stick to the schedule the Selectboard has requested and deliver a budget on time in January.

“The budget process is collaborative, and Town staff are working hard to find savings that can be made without causing harsh reductions in the level of Town services that people rely on,” Potter said.

The Town will be accepting applications for the Finance Director role until the position is filled. This is a tremendous opportunity for the right person to build on a solid municipal foundation. An initial round of screening interviews is planned for the week of Jan. 6, 2025. Those interested in applying may do so online via Brattleboro.gov/Jobs.
