🌟Full-Time Employee of the Year🌟

We are proud to recognize Member Services Supervisor, Omayra Shofner, as the recipient of this year’s Full-Time Employee of the Year Award! Since joining Gurnee Park District in 2014, Omayra has consistently exemplified leadership, compassion, and dedication. Her impact has been felt across the District, from playing a key role in the growth of FitNation (now home to over 5,000 members!) to guiding Customer Service operations with professionalism and heart.

Beyond her leadership, Omayra is known for going above and beyond—whether it`s lending a hand at special events, covering shifts with a smile, or supporting her teammates with empathy and care. Her ability to create a welcoming environment truly set her apart. Congratulations, Omayra, and thank you for the lasting impact you’ve made on our team and community!

Please take a moment to congratulate Omayra!
