"Erin always comes into work with a smile and is willing to do whatever it takes to make her staff’s jobs easier. Erin has done a fabulous job of building her team with summer camp as well as Beyond the Bell to serve both of these high-volume programs. Erin is a vital piece to the Recreation team and is always looking to help others in the department with new ideas and ways to operate more efficiently."
