Recreation Association's Professional of the Year, Margaret Resnick. 
The award is given to professionals working in parks and recreation who 
have had an impact on their communities. Margaret works with other 
civic leaders to provide cost-effective services for the community.
  Since 2007, Margaret has led the Mundelein Parks and Recreation

alternative funding and grants has allowed the Park District to thrive. 
Margaret has brought innovation and technological improvements to the 
programs and services in Mundelein. Due to her efforts, parks have 
expanded, and participation has increased.
  Mr. Speaker, Margaret Resnick is an inspiring community leader who 
has been creative and practical in providing parks and recreation 
services to the residents of Mundelein, Illinois. I am proud to 
celebrate her as the Professional of the Year and look forward to her 
continued service and leadership in the community.
