Heidi Holmes honored for over a decade of parks and rec service

Posted

Blaine-Birch Bay Park and Recreation District 2 (BBBPRD2) board of commissioners unanimously approved a resolution of appreciation for Heidi Holmes’ 11 years as the district’s program manager.

“Mrs. Holmes has been a community-facing leader that went above and beyond when it came to customer service and knowledge,” the resolution reads, in part. “Mrs. Holmes faithfully and with honor, integrity and great distinction served as the program manager for 11 years.”

The resolution thanked Holmes for acquiring an event trailer and activity bus to better meet the community’s needs. She oversaw community events such as Picnic in the Playground, Pirate Days, children’s carnivals, the Holiday Lights Obstacle Dash and the parks and rec district participating in the world’s largest swim lesson.

She led the parks and rec district through the pandemic and created long-lasting partnerships with the community, the resolution states.

“Mrs. Holmes trained and supervised with compassion and patience while encouraging and helping her staff to grow both personally and occupationally,” the resolution reads. “Mrs. Holmes had an optimistic outlook and strived for excellence in her position and for growth in community participation.”

Holmes left the district this spring. The board of commissioners approved the resolution during their August 9 meeting.
