State parks-and-recognition group honors Clearfield staff with two awards
Summary
Representatives from the Utah Recreation and Parks Association presented Clearfield staff with two statewide awards: Tyler was named Aquatics Professional of the Year and Curtis received Outstanding Administrative Professional of the Year. Council and staff celebrated the recognitions.
Representatives of the Utah Recreation and Parks Association (URPA) visited Clearfield on May 12 to present two statewide awards to city staff.
Megan Sollender, past president of URPA, explained the association’s mission and noted Clearfield took home two awards out of the association’s annual recognitions. "This is one of our favorite things to do throughout the year because we have a conference... and then we get to go back into the communities to the locals and present these awards and really make sure there's an understanding of the outstanding work that's happening already in your community," Sollender said.
URPA recognized Tyler as the Aquatics Professional of the Year, citing his work organizing lifeguard games and valuing safety and staff development. Curtis was presented with the Outstanding Administrative Professional Award; Sollender praised him as a long-serving leader and described him as a "servant leader" who has supported the department for more than two decades.
Councilmembers and staff applauded the awards and took photographs. The council then moved on to its regular agenda items.
The awards underscore regional recognition for Clearfield’s parks and recreation staff and the city noted the positive visibility that state-level recognition brings to local programming.
