“To be recognized as a finalist for the National Gold Medal Award is a true honor,” said Venues Parks & Arts Executive Director, Aaron Perri. This is not only a reflection of our quality experiences and spaces, it’s also a well-deserved tribute to a dedicated group of city employees, strong leadership from our elected officials, and a very supportive community.” A panel of five highly qualified park and recreation professionals review and judge all application materials. Judges are chosen for their considerable experience and knowledge in parks and recreation on both the local and national levels.
