During a recent county commission meeting, Lenay Gerrin, Special Events & Program Manager for the Habersham County Parks & Recreation Department, received special recognition for her exceptional dedication and service to the community.
Gerrin was recognized during the Employee Spotlight portion of the county commission meeting on Monday, May 19.
Terry Lannon, interim Director of Parks & Recreation, introduced Gerrin to commissioners, commending her for 14 years of outstanding service. Gerrin began her career with the county as the Gymnastics Operations Supervisor, later transitioning to the aquatic center, where she has since become an indispensable part of the department’s leadership.
“Her role requires her to have the biggest hat rack of anyone at the center,” Lannon told the commissioners. “She manages the Fitness Center, Special Events and Programs, coordinates the Front Desk and Memberships, and oversees all of our marketing and social media. On top of that, she contributes to both administrative and athletic operations.”
Lannon highlighted Gerrin’s instrumental role in the successful transition of the county’s gymnastics program, especially during a difficult period following flooding at the gymnastics facility. Her steady leadership and hands-on approach helped maintain continuity and service for local families.
Colleagues describe Gerrin as a dynamic, dependable leader whose tireless efforts often go beyond her job description. Her work has made a lasting impact on both patrons and staff.
“Lenay is deeply appreciated by the community she serves,” Lannon said.
The recognition marks a proud moment for Gerrin and underscores the vital role of public service professionals who help sustain and enrich community programs across Habersham County.
