In the almost two years I have worked for the park district I have truly enjoyed the work I have been doing. I feel the teams of people I interact with are excellent in the quality of work they perform and dedication to the park district.

I will be with the Glenview Park District 7 years as of 3/10/2008. I truly LOVE my job. GPD is a wonderful place to work. My immediate supervisor is the BEST boss I have had in 7 years. She knows her job very well and is such a great help when I need it. She's always there when I need her and she is behind me when it comes to making my job better.
