I am pleased to present the 2006 Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation Annual Report. In the past year, we have become a more efficient and effective department of your County government. Among the ways we have accomplished this are by consolidating services, increasing community programs and establishing new partnerships within the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community. Our department is made up of dedicated professionals who oversee over 17,000 acres of park and open space. Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation offers more than 180 parks, 25 recreation centers and over 23 miles of greenway trails. We are proud to operate the area's only indoor water park, 4 swimming pools, 5 golf courses and 6 disc- golf courses. I would be remiss if I did not mention the numerous tennis courts, spray- grounds, ball fields, playgrounds, basketball courts and fitness centers that are available to the community. I invite you to take a class, discover a new park, or enroll your child in a program. Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation Department hosts many festivals and events throughout the year. Each is memorable and marks a milestone for our department and for the citizens of Mecklenburg County. This year, we published the first edition of the Get Going Guide. The guide is a comprehensive listing of all the programs and services that are offered by your Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation Department. This year, after 21 years of dedicated service, R. Wayne Weston retired from his position as director of this department. While he will be missed greatly, it is an honor to have been selected serve you as the Interim Director for the Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation Department. Contact me if I can be of assistance to you. My door is always open. Best Regards, Dot Law Interim Director of Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation Department Mission: To enrich the lives of our citizens through the stewardship of the County's natural resources and the efficient and responsible provision of quality leisure opportunities, experiences and partnerships. Vision: To ensure that Mecklenburg County is and remains the natural place to be. 1 Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners Front Row (L to R): Wilhelmenia Rembert, At-Large; Chairman Parks Helms, At-Large; Jennifer Roberts, At-Large; Norman A.

Fox Employee of the Year. Al Simpson is a recreation leader with the Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation Department. He is a former Army boxer and coach. He was also a trainer for the U.S. Olympic boxing teams in 1988 and 1992. Now he coaches young people in Mecklenburg County, mostly from disadvantaged neighborhoods — as many as 40 a night at the Charlotte Boxing Academy. In seven years, Simpson has coached champions on every level. But don't call his boxers "fighters." Simpson says he teaches discipline and self-control, so the children don't have to fight. 3 Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation Department Scorecard FY 2006 Mecklenburg County Government uses the balanced scorecard performance management system to illustrate our goals and report our performance. All services provided by Mecklenburg County Government are targeted to achieve strategic goals in one of the following four focus areas. The Park and Recreation Department provides services in only the first three. 1 Social, Education and Economic Opportunity 2 Effective and Efficient Government 3 Growth Management and Environment 4 Community Health and Safety Mecklenburg County Government adopted the Balanced Scorecard Methodology in order to: A Provide a more effective County government B Provide a more efficient County government C To provide accountability to taxpayers D To provide a method to achieve performance based budgeting 4 5 The Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation Department is proud of its excellent Volunteer Services Program. Thanks to the hard work of Lori Saylor, Volunteer Services Coordinator, and the many staff people who support the Volunteer Services Program, volunteer service hours increased 27% in 2006 and totaled over 90,000 hours. A total of 11,200 volunteers donated their time and talents to the department. The Points of Light Foundation values volunteers at $17.55 per hour. As you can see, gifts of time and talent means a great deal to Mecklenburg County. The Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation Department would like to thank the following community and business partners for providing volunteers this year. 2005-2006 Volunteer Service Partnership List: Partners for Parks, Inc.

Each Advisory Council consists of nine appointed members who represent the department and serve as liaisons to the citizens of Mecklenburg County. Advisory Councils are often the first to interact with park users and they regularly report their findings to the Park and Recreation Commission. Each council consults and advises the department on matters affecting recreation promotion, marketing, membership, programming, planning and other leisure services related to Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation programs. The Citizen Advisory Councils influence the long-range planning process of capital resources for rehabilitation, design and development for both in-and- outdoor recreations.

  • North-Carolina Ctsos
    Career and Technical Student Organizations Serving Career and Technical Education Students in North Carolina 1 As a career educator for more than 30 years in North Carolina and a Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) adviser for the majority of these years, I value the impact of CTSOs. DECA, FBLA, FCCLA, FFA, HOSA, Skills USA and TSA provide our students multiple opportunities to network in their field. In high school I developed and excelled in the business skills that led me to choose my career path in college and career. As our students prepare themselves for their future in education or the job market, equipping them to find their career path and to be competitive in the marketplace are two of the many benefits to belonging to a CTSO. I have seen directly how CTSOs have impacted students’ lives in multiple ways. By attending local, regional, state and national events hosted by their CTSOs, our students learn to network socially and professionally and develop leadership skills necessary to succeed in their career field and life. Our goal is for each of our students to be able to compete globally in the 21st century and find gainful employment in their field. CTSOs provide positive opportunities for our students to meet these goals by building leadership, public speaking skills, technical competencies and self-confidence. In North Carolina over 104,000 work-place credentials have been earned by students enrolled in business, health science, marketing, family and consumer science, technology, agriculture, and trade and industry
