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.
Bachelor’s degree in recreation
administration, sports management, or a related field and one year of
experience programming for a variety of outdoor recreational activities and two
years of experience supervising employees involved in the provision of
recreational services.
