The Des Plaines Park District and Don Miletic, Superintendent of Business and Golf Operations, recently received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the fiscal year ending April 20, 2012. This marks the twenty-first year in a row that the District has been awarded this certificate for their comprehensive annual financial report by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada, (GFOA).

The attainment of a Certificate of Achievement represents a significant accomplishment by an agency and its management. “We are very proud of the professionalism of our business department under Don’s leadership,” said John Hecker, Executive Director.
