Town goes offshore to hire new treasurer/collector
There will be a new name on the town’s municipal bills with the recent hiring of Ellyse Glushkov as the treasurer/collector.
Glushkov was introduced at Tuesday’s Select Board meeting by Assistant Director of Finance Cecilia Simchak. She succeeds Veronica Harvey, who departed in late 2023 to accept a position with the state comptroller’s office.
Glushkov holds a master’s degree in accounting from the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. She comes to Needham from Nantucket where she had been head of the island community’s tax department since May 2022.
“In a very rare instance, the move was to a more affordable community,” she said.
“When we get people from, like, the Midwest, they’re shocked at Boston.”
