Oregon City Parks and Recreation Events Coordinator Taylor Miller was recently honored by Oregon Parks and Recreation Association (ORPA) during their annual awards luncheon.
ORPA uses their annual conference to recognize standouts in the parks and recreation field throughout Oregon. Miller was named this year’s Rising Professional for the positive impacts he has had on Oregon City and the many events he’s put together.
“Taylor’s state-wide recognition by his peers as a rising professional in parks and recreation is well deserved,” said Parks and Recreation Director Scott Archer. “He has contributed significantly to our community and is proving to be a leader within the Oregon City Parks and Recreation team and our broader profession. Through his enthusiasm and dedication, Taylor exemplifies public service.”
Many residents are likely familiar with this work though they may not know it. Among other duties, Miller is responsible for producing the Concerts in the Park series and the July 4th Celebration. He was also behind the inaugural OC Fall Fest that just occurred.
“We’ve seen a huge increase in the participation rates in our different events since Taylor took over,” said Deputy Director for the department Thomas Kissinger.
