The fundamental reason this classification
exists is to develop and implement recreational activities for all community
centers in Montgomery County. Incumbents are assigned to a specialized area of
expertise—outdoor recreation or general/creative arts. In addition, Specialists
have management oversight over a group of the smaller community centers. The work
responsibilities for the position include the following: planning and
developing recreation programs; administering recreation programs; promoting
recreation programs; providing management oversight to a group of smaller
community centers; and performing other related administrative duties. The
Recreation Area Supervisor differs from the Recreation Specialist in that the
Supervisor has oversight over the larger community centers as well as the
Specialists who have oversight over recreation programming and smaller
community centers. Incumbents report directly to the Recreation Area Supervisor.
