Former Seekonk Finance Director Hired in Rehoboth

Bruce Alexander, the former finance director for Seekonk, has been hired as an interim assistant town accountant in Rehoboth. The Board of Selectmen approved the appointment Monday.

Roberta Oliveira vacated the position of town accountant last October. Alexander retired from his position last June.

Town Administrator Deborah Arruda noted that former Town Treasurer and tax collector Cheryl Gouveia has been filling in while candidates for the position can be interviewed.

According to Arruda, Gouveia will be away for a couple of months.

Gouveia had previously worked with Alexander “and the Board of Selectmen approved his help and expertise as an Accountant, to help us out with our situation,” Arruda added.
