The following was sent as press release from the City of Henderson:

The citizens of Henderson have voiced the need, on various occasions in the past and present, for programs that entice our youth that may be at risk or in need of structured, positive interaction. Interaction with our youth through programs provided by the Recreations and Parks Department are vital to our success as a city and a collaborative effort of varied stakeholders will need to be structured to insure this success. The staff and employees of the Recreations and Parks Department will work to progress toward these goals under the leadership of the newly appointed Director of Recreations and Parks.

Designated tenured City of Henderson staff members from various departments will be working with the new Recreation and Parks Director, Kendrick Vann, during his orientation and transition into his new position. The staff is looking forward to working with Mr. Vann and the new visions and fresh perspective that he brings to this position from his experience with the Durham NC Parks and Recreation Department. Police Chief Marcus Barrow has expressed his interest in partnering with Mr. Vann on programs and initiatives that will benefit the City’s youth.

As indicated in the City’s Press Release on October 13, 2014 Vann will assume his new position with the City of Henderson effective November 20, 2014.
