DPR Staff Shout Out: Cathy Reagan

By: Tammy Brown, Recreation Resource Manager

On September 13, 2021, our very own Cathy Reagan, Recreation Assistant Supervisor, was selected as the 2021 League Volunteer Service Award (Given by Omega Sports) recipient for the United States Tennis Association North Carolina. This award is presented to the individuals who made generous contributions to the USTA League Tennis program that have resulted in the growth of tennis on the local and/or state level. 

USTA’s Director of Adult Play, Dani Broadstreet said that “newer league coordinators reach out to Cathy when they need help setting things up, and Cathy is always willing to take time out of her day to walk them through things.”

Cathy is always willing to help with all things league tennis-related. Cathy is an excellent source of knowledge and is an incredible volunteer during state league championships. She is willing to do anything needed to make the championships run smoothly. Cathy also sits on the Adult League Committee, where her expertise and knowledge help shape league play for the future.

Since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 tennis has been a constant in our program rotation and Cathy has worked diligently to work through these obstacles to get all leagues running in 2021. Flexibility and communication have been key in her success in navigating the constantly changing guidelines and protocols of this past year while ensuring that this information was getting out to thousands of participants. The acknowledgement of her hard work and dedication through this award is well deserved.

Keep up the great work, Cathy! We're proud to have you on the Durham Parks and Recreation team!
