The Berwyn Park District is proud to announce the selection of Conor Michael Cahill as the Superintendent of Recreation.  Out of more than 30 resumes received from applicants from as far as Florida and Texas, Mr. Cahill was selected and began his employment on February 4, 2008 and works out of the Proksa Park Activity Center.  Conor has a B.S. in Recreation and Park Administration, Program Management and Commercial Recreation from Illinois State Univiersity.

Hopefully he will breathe some life into our programs and increase attendance and participation. As it is now, we cancel way too many courses and programs due to lack of interest. My hope is he'll have some new ideas to better utilize our facilities.
