In my role as your public servant, I pledge to listen attentively to your feedback, communicate transparently, and uphold the highest standards of honesty within both our community and the dedicated professionals I have the privilege to serve alongside.
Maintaining the utmost integrity is fundamental to cultivating positive internal relationships and building robust community connections. These principles contribute to the delivery of the high-quality park services our visitors rightfully deserve.
Our commitment to a community-oriented approach remains unwavering. We take great pride in the relationships and partnerships we have formed, and we are dedicated to continuously building and maintaining trust, transparency, and legitimacy.
In the face of the unique challenges confronting our park district today, I am pleased to express our resilience and steadfast dedication to the safety and well-being of our visitors.
