Cordova Recreation & Park District (CRPD) team members were honored for their outstanding service to the district at the California Association of Recreation and Park Districts (CARPD) annual conference and awards banquet.
CRPD Board Director Brian Danzl was recognized for his leadership and service to CARPD as President. As Chair of the 2025 Conference Committee, he led efforts that resulted in record-breaking sponsorship and attendance. He participated in the annual Capitol Visit to advocate for issues impacting parks and recreation and developed a Past President recognition program. Director Danzl also oversaw the “Resolution of Recognition Program” honoring long-time Board Members of districts throughout the state and oversaw a balanced budget year for the organization.
Andrea White, CRPD’s Human Resources Manager, was honored as Outstanding District Employee of the Year. This award recognizes individuals whose exceptional contributions go above and beyond in service to their district. With over 17 years at CRPD, Andrea has consistently demonstrated strong leadership skills, teamwork and coaching techniques with her staff and co-workers.
Gregory Rubio, of Boy Scout Troop 281, received an Outstanding Volunteer award for his Eagle Scout project – a memorial honoring the Tuskegee Airmen in CRPD’s Veterans Park. His work demonstrated extraordinary leadership, dedication to community enrichment and created a lasting tribute that fosters education, reflection and community pride.
