Gibbs has worked in local media for over nine years, including as a reporter and anchor for WREX-TV and more recently for Maverick Media as a morning radio co-host on WGFB-FM.

"Laura’s media background, involvement in the community, and previous seasonal employment with the Park District as a youth have provided her with a solid foundation and great fit for this position. We are thrilled to have Laura on board as a new member of our public relations and marketing team," said Marketing & Communications Manager Denise Delanty.

Gibbs’s main responsibilities will include implementing the Park District’s public relations efforts, including radio and television appearances, information booths, speaking engagements, news releases, publication distribution, advertising copywriting, and social media initiatives.

"My career has come full circle. I started volunteering at the Park District when I was just 12 years old, and this is where I want to retire from.  I am thrilled to be back! I have always had a special place in my heart for the Rockford Park District, and I am excited to be able to combine my two areas of expertise, media and recreation. This is a dream job," said Public Relations & New Media Manager Laura Gibbs-Green.
