Jefferson County Greenways staff includes superintendent La Fran Marks, left; Executive Director Carlee Sanford; and deputy superintendent Amy Conyers.Jefferson County now has a superintendent of parks who is overseeing Red Mountain Park, Ruffner Mountain and Turkey Creek Nature Preserve.
“I am genuinely enthused about my return to Birmingham and the prospect of contributing to such a successful organization,” said Marks. “In a first for Jefferson County, we are thrilled to have the addition of Fran and Amy, whose combined veteran leadership skills will amplify the overall park experience,” said Carlee Sanford, executive director for Jefferson County Greenways.
Separate organizations managing each park was inefficient and led to competition for the same donations and grants, duplication of senior staff, separate maintenance efforts, and different membership structures, she said.
