Michael Schyman,
a commissioner on the
Northbrook Park District,
recently received a Master
Board Member Award
from the Illinois Association
of Park Districts.
Schyman received the
honor through his participation
in the IAPD Board
Member Development
Program, which recognizes
committee involvement,
pursuit of board member
educational opportunities,
legislative advocacy and
achievements at the local,
state and national levels
in the field of parks, recreation
and conservation.
“Master Board Members
have gone above and
beyond the call of duty as
park commissioners,” said
Peter Murphy, IAPD’s
president and chief executive
officer. “They are
very involved at the local
level and are outstanding
proponents of enhancing
the quality of life in Illinois
through the services
of park districts, forest
preserves, conservation,
recreation and special recreation
agencies.”
Schyman joined the
Northbrook Park District
board in 2009. The park
district is one of more
than 350-member agencies
of IAPD.
IAPD was established
in 1928 and is the oldest
state association for parks,
recreation and conservation
in America. The association
serves more than
2,100 elected park, recreation
and forest preserve
district board members
who govern more than
350 agencies employing
40,000 individuals.
Schyman is a lifelong
Northbrook resident.
