Intranet Communication Key in Distinguished Accreditation Program Honor

    SCHAUMBURG, IL, December 03, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Schaumburg Park District, a user of Intranet Connections Intranet 2.0 Software, was recently honored by The Illinois Association of Park Districts and The Illinois Parks and Recreation Association. Schaumburg received praise for their intranet that facilitates employee communication and provides important district information to front line staff that directly correlates with improved customer service.

The goal of the Illinois Distinguished Accreditation program is to recognize the agencies that deliver recreational services to improve the quality of life for Illinois residents. The Accreditation program is a voluntary, comprehensive evaluation that reviews a district's observance of best practices within the profession and compliance to Illinois laws governing park district administration.

Schaumburg Park District was recognized for excellence in sound business practices, programs, public accountability and quality facilities. In addition to their intranet, Schaumburg was honored for their Facility Preventative Maintenance and Asset Management Program, and the "Green Light" environmental programs and policies that promote district-wide energy efficiency and sound environmental practices.

Schaumburg Park Board President, George Longmeyer, commented that "The District's commissioners and staff are very proud of this achievement, and the employees are to be congratulated for their dedication to the highest standards of the profession and commitment to community."

The distinguished park and recreation accreditation program began in 1993 with recognition of three park districts and since that time more than 40 of Illinois' 400+ park districts have been accredited.
