Select Board picks Corbitt as next chair

Members of the Wareham Select Board unanimously approved Sarah Corbitt to be the next Select Board chair Tuesday, May 19. 

Crobitt was reelected for a three-year term Tuesday, May 5. Town Administrator Derek Sullivan was optimistic about the nomination and said that Corbitt could be in for a tough job.

“I don’t know why any of you would ever want to be chair,” Sullivan said. “It is a full time job.”

Corbitt is succeeding Judith Whiteside, who has been chair of the Select Board for years. Board members praised Whiteside’s expertise and service to the board.

“I do want to thank Ms. Whiteside, as she has a wealth of knowledge not many people in this town hold, and the dedication she’s had on this board for many years is amazing,” said Select Board member Joey Still.
