Recreation
& Park District (PHRPD) is pleased to announce that Bobby Glover will
serve
as new chair of the board of directors in 2018, succeeding Zac Shess,
district
board chair for 2016 and 2017.
“Zac
has exceeded my expectations in every way,” Glover said. “During his term,
Shess
spearheaded hiring a new district general manager, led the district
through
negotiations with Contra Costa County to secure the right to buy five
acres
of land on Oak Park, and steered the development and approval of a ten-year
capital
improvement plan. He has been an excellent leader, a great
representative
of the district, and has set the table for exciting things for the
upcoming
year. He will be a tough act to follow.”
The
PHRPD District Board selects a board chair each year. This will be the
second
time Bobby Glover has served in this leadership position.
As
chair, Bobby will lead the district through the master plan process that will
create
a roadmap for the future of the organization.
“As
a long-time Pleasant Hill resident, Bobby has a vested interest in the
community,”
said Michelle Lacy. “He wants to ensure his town continues to be one
of
the best places to live in the Bay Area and is dedicated to making life even
better
for district residents. Bobby’s passion for his community, strong leadership
abilities, and outstanding, down-to-earth communication skills will serve him
well as he takes on the board chair position, once again.”
The
annual board chair rotation occurred during the board of directors meeting
on
Thursday, December 7, 2017. A special presentation was given to honor Board
Chair
Zac Shess for his contributions in 2017. District board meetings are open to
the
public.
