9/26/13 - The man set to take over as Director of the Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority says heâs not only excited about it but feels he has been given the best job heâll ever have. Paul Rogers has served and managed many organizations and events over the years, including some time as Howell City Mayor and a council member. He hails from a business and technology background but has always had a love of recreation and sports, and can often be found out and about at his grandchildrenâs sports games. Rogers tells WHMI heâs looking forward to the challenge of taking the organization to the next level and encourages the community to take advantage of the great opportunities the authority offers to youth, teens and senior citizens. More than 81 individuals applied for the position and Authority Board Chairman Todd Smith says considerable time was spent working to find the person who best fit within the organization, especially in the areas of leadership and management skills as well as general team approach. Rogers replaces former Director Debbie Mikula, who resigned in May and will start Monday in his new role. Smith says theyâre fortunate to have hired on a well-known and active community member and thanked everyone in the organization for their contributions and extra efforts during the past few months of transition, adding all should be commended for their professionalism and dedication.
