Why I am Running
As a retired executive I have the time and skills to contribute to the continued success of the Town of Harwich. I believe in an open democracy and in strong and open communication with the people who elected the Selectmen to represent their interests. Women are more than 50% of the population and should be represented on the Board.
About Mary Anderson
Mary and her husband Bob moved to Harwich in 2005 after being longtime visitors for many years. Mary vacationed here as a child and when her parents retired to Harwich in 1979 she and Bob became even more frequent visitors.
Her professional life includes a 27 year career at Verizon beginning as a clerk in the Engineering Department and retiring as the Construction Director for a large section of Massachusetts. After a few years of retirement Mary was fortunate to be hired as the Executive Director of The Family Pantry of Cape Cod and she successfully ran that organization for 11 years. Her proudest accomplishment was opening Second Glance Thrift Shop which has been successful beyond her wildest dreams and ensures the stability of the non-profit pantry.
Mary and Bob have two children: daughter Kristen and her husband Chris who live in Holliston with their sons Andy (10) and Jack (5) and son Dan and his wife Amanda who live in Medford. All six of them can be found in Harwich regularly.
