Weekly Update from Clear President Michael Boese

Local Government Career Opportunities, National Police Week, and Mental Health Awareness Month

Clear Career Professionals President Michael Boese shared this week’s update from downtown Caldwell, Texas, standing outside the historic Burleson County Courthouse. The update highlighted several current and upcoming local government career opportunities across Texas, including executive recruitment opportunities for city administrators, city managers, deputy city managers, assistant city attorneys, and city engineers.

The update also recognized National Police Week and Mental Health Awareness Month, two important reminders of the service, sacrifice, and human side of public service.

Caldwell, Texas City Administrator Opportunity

The City of Caldwell, Texas City Administrator recruitment remains open through Clear Career Professionals. Caldwell is a strong opportunity for local government professionals interested in serving a growing community with a committed elected body, an engaged staff, and a meaningful role in shaping the city’s future.

Michael Boese has been serving as the interim city administrator in Caldwell, giving Clear Career Professionals a direct understanding of the organization, the community, and the leadership opportunity available to the next city administrator.

Candidates interested in municipal leadership, city operations, financial management, council relations, infrastructure planning, and community growth should review this opportunity before the application period closes.

 

Current Texas Local Government Recruitments

In addition to the Caldwell City Administrator search, Clear Career Professionals is currently working on several other public sector executive recruitment opportunities.

The Victoria, Texas Deputy City Manager position remains open. This opportunity is ideal for a local government leader ready to help guide a full service city organization and support executive level operations in a growing Texas community.

The Odessa, Texas Assistant City Attorney recruitment is also open. This role offers the opportunity to work with a strong city leadership team and support the legal needs of a major West Texas community.

The Lufkin, Texas City Engineer position is another important recruitment currently open through Clear Career Professionals. This role is focused on infrastructure, engineering leadership, project delivery, and long term community development.

The TMRS Director of Human Resources position is an exciting opportunity for experienced Human Resources Professionals. This role needs someone who can elevate the already rich workplace culture, expand training opportunities, and build trust in the HR Team as trusted advisors for the rest of the TMRS Team.

Coming Soon, City Manager Opportunities in Texas

Clear Career Professionals also has several anticipated city manager recruitments coming soon.

Upcoming opportunities include La Marque, Texas City Manager, Los Fresnos, Texas City Manager, and the highly anticipated Denison, Texas City Manager recruitment, expected to open in early June.

These searches reflect the continued need for experienced, ethical, and forward thinking municipal leaders who understand public service, organizational leadership, financial stewardship, and community trust.

National Police Week and the Symbolism of Public Service

Michael also recognized National Police Week, a time set aside to honor the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers across the country.

National Police Week is more than a calendar observance. It is a reminder that public safety is built on people who accept risk, carry responsibility, and serve communities during some of their most difficult moments. For cities, counties, and public sector organizations, it is also a reminder that leadership matters. Police officers, first responders, and public servants need strong organizational support, clear direction, and a culture that values both service and wellness.

At Clear Career Professionals, our work in executive recruitment and leadership development is connected to that larger mission. Strong public sector leadership helps create stronger departments, healthier organizations, and better outcomes for residents, visitors, businesses, and employees.

Mental Health Awareness Month and Checking on Others

May is also Mental Health Awareness Month. Michael encouraged people to check on first responders, military veterans, friends, family members, and loved ones.

That message is important for every public sector organization. Local government work can be rewarding, but it can also be demanding. City managers, department directors, police officers, firefighters, public works employees, finance professionals, HR leaders, and other public servants often carry significant pressure behind the scenes.

Mental wellness is not just a personal issue. It is an organizational leadership issue. Healthy teams require leaders who pay attention, communicate clearly, support their people, and create an environment where employees know they matter.
