In Celebration Park & Recreation Director Retires

Sheila Canzian Honored for 52-year Career in Public Service

After an influential and award-winning career expanding recreational opportunities in the City of San Mateo, long-time Parks and Recreation Director Sheila Canzian in June 2022.

Canzian is one of the City’s longest-serving employees who has been instrumental in managing San Mateo’s well-known recreational programs, facilities and amenities. Some of her proudest accomplishments include creating the City’s Shoreline Parks along the bayfront, co-founding the nonprofit Police Activities League, rebuilding the Poplar Creek Golf Course, establishing the Senior Center, updating the Central Park Master Plan, bringing a seasonal ice rink to Central Park, and creating a Learning Education Assistance Program to support school children during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I have been blessed to work with a great team of staff and amazing managers over the years,” Canzian said. “I loved working in San Mateo, it is my community and it is heart- warming to walk through the parks and see so many children and families enjoying what our department provides. Parks bring the community together, whether it be at special events such as the Summer Concerts in the Park series and Winter Wonderland, or for family gatherings such as celebrating birthdays and reunions.”

A San Mateo native, she is a second-generation City employee whose father served as a firefighter during World War II. She started with the City while in college as a volunteer in Central Park in 1969 and was hired in 1970 as a summer playground leader.

She rose the ranks over the years holding positions as senior supervisor, section manager and community services manager, before being appointed as the Parks and Recreation Director in 1990.

Canzian is passionate about advancing the Parks and Recreation profession, and has earned a number of coveted statewide and national recognitions. In 2021, she was voted into the American Academy for Parks and Recreation Administration, a highlyregarded national organization of distinguished professionals. She’s previously received the Hall of Fame/Fellowship Award from CPRS, which she also served in numerous leadership positions including president and secretarytreasurer, and recently received the Distinguished Professional Award from CPRS District IV.

“Sheila has made immeasurable contributions to the San Mateo community and is an icon in her profession,” said City Manager Drew Corbett. “Our parks and recreation amenities are beloved by so many people and significantly enhance the quality of life here in San Mateo. Our organization has benefited tremendously thanks to her steadfast leadership, wealth of experience and remarkable number of years she spent serving the public.”

Canzian officially retired June 9, 2022. “I was born and raised in San Mateo and spent summers at our local school playground. Growing up I always had so much fun visiting our parks and getting to work in them these last 50 years has been the best career I could have ever wished for,” Canzian said.

New Champion for San Mateo Parks

Joanne Magrini Chosen as Next Parks & Recreation Director

There is a new champion for the City of San Mateo’s beloved parks and recreation amenities with Joanne Magrini having been chosen to join the City’s executive team.

Magrini now serves as the new director of the Parks and Recreation Department, and brings years of professional experience as well as personal passion for the role. She is a San Mateo County native who grew up playing sports in San Mateo parks and dedicated her career to giving back to the community. Magrini was the director for the City of Cupertino’s Parks and Recreation Department, and began with the City of San Mateo on July 11.

“San Mateo has set the standard for how a high-performing Parks and Recreation Department should function. I am humbled and honored to step into a strong organization and look forward to building upon long- established successes while continuing to collaborate with the community on innovative approaches to provide the highest level of service,” Magrini said.

She steps into the position following the retirement of long-time San Mateo Parks and Recreation Director Sheila Canzian, who retired on June 9 after an influential 52-year career with the city.

“San Mateo’s parks and recreation programs are some of the most important services we provide to the community and our department has benefited from a history of strong leadership,” Corbett said. “Joanne is a collaborative and innovative leader who has the experience and passion to be a champion for our department. I look forward to her joining our executive team and supporting her efforts to enhance recreation in San Mateo.”

In addition to managing the City’s award winning-parks, San Mateo’s Parks and Recreation Department provides numerous special events like the Central Park Music Series and Eggstravaganza, offers seasonal activities and programs for people of all ages, and is responsible for ongoing maintenance as well as capital improvements to recreational facilities. Community Services Manager Bob Palacio will serve as interim director in between Canzian’s retirement and Magrini’s start date.

Magrini has a master’s degree in sports and fitness management, and a bachelor’s in communications. Prior to working as Cupertino’s department director, she served as director of San Bruno’s Community Services Department, and as an associate director for the University of San Francisco where she also taught recreation management courses. She is an avid sports fan who continues to recreate in the San Mateo parks she grew up in.

Mike Pacheco, who started with Vista on May 16, previously served as Carlsbad’s recreation services manager for six years. He was a recreation supervisor with the city of Encinitas From 2001 to 2006.

“I was extremely impressed with Mike’s depth and knowledge. He brings a wealth of experience in the field of parks and recreation that matches the needs of our organization,” Vista City Manager Patrick Johnson said in a news release. “His enthusiasm, drive, and experience are what the city needs to elevate and lead our Recreation and Community Services Department after two years of limited services due to the pandemic. With his broad skill base and experience, he will be a vital member of the leadership team in helping the city meet the needs of the community now and into the future. We are fortunate and excited to have him join the team.”

“I am thrilled about this opportunity to lead the recreation and community services department,” Pacheco said in Vista’s news release. “I have admired the department’s excellent reputation over the years, and have a strong, positive working relationship with many of the team members due to the professional ties between the neighboring cities. I am looking forward to working with the team in helping move Vista forward on its path to excellence in the community. Parks and recreation enhance quality of life and help build strong communities and I’ve always been passionate about parks and recreation. It’s impressive that Vista has everything in its own backyard, all of which I am familiar with: a waterpark, award-winning Amphitheatre, recreational opportunities, and many beautiful parks and trails.”

Pacheco holds a bachelor’s degree in criminology and communications from the University of New Mexico and is a Certified Park and Recreation Professional. He lives in North County with his wife and two sons.

CAPRD Recognizes Jill Nunes With Award

by Patrick Larkin

The California Association of Recreation & Park Districts awarded Jill Nunes, Director of Parks & Recreation at the Cordova Recreation & park District with its 2022 Outstanding District Employee Award.

“COVID did not slow us down, we continued to thrive through these unprecedented times. This shows me how powerful our Parks and Recreation department really is!” – Jill Nunes

This quote demonstrates the leadership mindset I greatly appreciate and value in Jill as the Director of Parks & Recreation. Jill consistently demonstrates strong leadership skills, teamwork and her approach to coaching her staff and addressing issues and processes is thorough, thoughtful, respectful and professional. She has been instrumental in addressing challenges during COVID restrictions regarding concerns with CRPD systems and staff and looking for ways to improve the conditions. She is very passionate about the parks and recreation field which is demonstrated through her numerous accomplishments.

Jill has been a champion for change management which has been a key for success. She has led staff through numerous COVID restrictions and protected staff from potential lay-offs due to limited to no programs by having the full time Recreation staff be direct service providers, creating new programs and producing a Virtual Recreation Guide. She created a work team that communicates well through diverse and challenging work assignments. Jill is excellent at providing tools and resources to her staff for them to work efficiently, smarter and to achieve their goals. Specifically, she has trained staff on expectations to evaluate existing programs and to add new programs to fill service gaps, especially during the challenging years of the pandemic. She is also connecting staff from multiple departments to make cohesive decisions so there is a District-wide point of view on critical capital improvement projects.

In addition, Jill has been the leader of the District Fee Schedule and updates to the CRPD Board of Directors (Board). She developed and presented the District Fee Schedule program to the Board for their approval, which demonstrated her ability to initiate a process and see it to completion. Jill also presents monthly reports to the Board to discuss department highlights and great services provided by staff. The Cordova Golf Course is one of these highlights. The improvements at the golf course, along with new leadership, has yielded remarkable results. “An exceptional leader, Jill perseveres under pressure and articulates a clear vision for success –going above and beyond in service to the District. I consider myself fortunate to be a part of her vision to imbue an aging golf course with new life and vitality, for future generations to enjoy,” said Cordova Golf Course Manager Chase Michelotti. “Daily, Jill works to empower CRPD’s vision, and embraces the mission to serve the needs of a diverse and growing community.” Due to the new management approach and practices, revenue is at an all-time high and customers are feeling a sense of belonging and care.

Jill has proved how valuable building connections and relationships are to the success of CRPD. She has done an exemplary job learning about the parks maintenance, facility maintenance and management needs of CRPD. To gain perspective into the Park Department, Jill worked full days with each division within the Parks Department. The experience was beneficial as she learned about our dedicated staff and how hard they work each day to keep CRPD parks beautiful. Jill enjoyed gaining insight into their needs and obstacles which has helped her give the Parks Department the support they need and deserve. Through this, Jill has earned ample respect and admiration from the Parks staff, leadership team and the Board. She will continue to learn the Parks team needs, look for ways to advocate and support those needs in the budget and help prioritize projects considering limited resources. Jill has also formed strong relationships with partners and stakeholders. Her confidence and professional approach enable her to connect with a diverse, and sometimes challenging, audience. She continues to strengthen her relationships with agencies including counties, cities, tourism agencies, school districts and neighborhood associations. She has written and received Board approval for Joint Use Agreements with multiple school districts. Jill continually strives to be the best listener in the group or meeting while maintaining an openness to the content of the communication.

I really appreciate Jill’s strong work ethic, honesty, real approach to work and support for new directions. She has set the tone with professionalism and openness to change. Jill is an irreplaceable asset and a talented leader. It is my honor to nominate Jill Nunes, Director of Parks & Recreation from Cordova Recreation & Park District as the CARPD 2022 Outstanding District Employee.

Patrick Larkin General Manager Cordova Recreation & Park District

Continued from page 6 progress. I have started to ask that we have a “JEDI Moment” at the start of every meeting at all districts and sections and plan to send out trending topics in the JEDI sphere for president’s to consider in their districts and section meetings.

Fall is almost upon us. I will be in Regions 1, 2 and 4 and Districts

8 and 12 to present this fall at their trainings. I will most likely attend more CPRS related trainings this fall as well. I encourage you as members to become involved in the profession. Attend networking opportunities and trainings to help us advance the profession, create your own networks, as we face new challenges. As Past President Tara Gee would say often, we are better together. And Past President Lydie

Gutfeld promoted – know one, be one, show one. Let’s get reconnected with each other this fall, in-person. Having that human connection is important for our growth. Finally, look for me in your district and come out to join me in a 5K.
