Meet Mayor Robert Arace
Mayor Robert Arace won his four-year term in the December 2022 Special Runoff Municipal Election following the November 2022 General Election. He took his Oath of Office as Manchester Township’s Mayor on January 3, 2023.
Mr. Arace works as a Principal Consultant specializing in Marketing and Analytics, working with mid-size to large companies to enhance their business strategy and demand generation. In addition, he is an entrepreneur and businessman who created his own firm to help small, local businesses survive and grow during the COVID-19 pandemic.

They decided to settle down in Manchester and purchased their first home together, excited to become a part of the community here. Mayor Arace has served on the Beachwood Recreation Committee. He is also very involved in several local civic organizations.
Mayor Arace is a proud Italian-American who supports our veterans, police and first responders, and cares for our senior community. During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, he helped coordinate efforts and personally helped deliver groceries to Manchester seniors in need.
With your support, Mayor Arace looks forward to preserving the quality of life for all Manchester residents and continuing to make our town a great place to live for both retirees and new families, alike.
