Congratulations, Lewiston Recreation Coordinator Alyssa Clark! Alyssa was surprised at the March 21, 2023, City Council meeting with the Maine Recreation and Park Association’s “Dr. Bill Eckart” Young Professional of the Year Award.
The annual award is given to a rising parks and recreation professional in Maine who has displayed outstanding performance on a community level through innovative programming, partnerships, and civic involvement. She was recognized by Mayor Carl Sheline and Recreation Director Nicole Welch.
“Alyssa has developed valuable partnerships with Healthy Androscoggin, Bates, and Lewiston High School, to name a few, which have resulted in low-cost and free programs for our residents, supporting our mission of increased organized recreation and leisure access. Her approach to offering both traditional and non-traditional programs support a welcoming environment where the families can confidently receive an organized, fun, safe program. If the past 18 months are her ‘getting her feet wet,’ then the greater Lewiston community is in for a treat over the coming years,” said Director Welch.
