Wayland Town Crier 9/4/14: New town administrator starts Monday in Wayland. Nan Balmer puts in her first day as Wayland’s new town administrator on Monday and is anticipating it with a sense of buoyancy. “Wayland is a jewel,” she said. “I feel very honored to be selected town administrator and am most looking forward to being part of what I see as a very thoughtful and intelligent town government.” Balmer comes to Wayland after two years as assistant town administrator of Eastham, a community of about 6,000 people on Cape Cod. Prior to that, she held appointed and elected positions in cities, small towns, and rural municipalities, including Harwich and Orleans, also on the Cape, as well as Reading and Robeson Township in her native Pennsylvania.
