CLARK COUNTY — A new award series announced by the Parks Foundation of Clark County will recognize three exemplary park boosters — a community leader, a volunteer and a parks and recreation professional.
The annual awards are named for Florence B. Wager, a leading citizen advocate for Clark County parks and recreation. She has served as chairwoman of the Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission for 14 years, and helped establish the Parks Foundation in 2009.
“Florence is a leader among leaders in our community,” said foundation executive director Cheri Martin. “She is a champion of parks and recreation services. It is her passion.”
The award categories are: Leading Eagle (for a community leader), V-Formation Flyer (for a volunteer) and Tributary (for a parks and recreation department professional, except for directors and senior staff).
