Experience supervising staff/volunteers in a community recreation setting (i.e. hiring, training, scheduling, evaluating performance, etc.).
I spent my summers working for the Boy Scouts of America running Rivers in Maine and most of my years in college as either a Lifeguard or a Program Director for a group home working with folks with disabilities. It was during this time in my life I realized I could be compensated for what I loved to do. As a result, nearly my entire 14 year career has been spent working in community recreation settings. I have worked in every nearly every position from a janitor or referee to leading large management teams for city and county organizations.
Hiring. I have had the opportunity to hire hundreds of individuals for a variety of capacities in fulltime, part-time, temporary, seasonal and volunteer settings. Hiring or casting the right individuals is critical to a successful organization.
Training. After selecting the right individuals it is then critical to train them and make expectations very clear. I have lead training seminars almost monthly for the past several years including the initial training for two newly constructed recreation centers.
Scheduling. I have created and monitored schedules for staff in a variety of settings. I currently organize and responsible for the daily scheduling of 35 staff.
Evaluating Performance. I have had the opportunity to work within several different systems in regards to evaluating performance. In my current position we evaluate our staff monthly.
