Hyland Hills News Getting to Know Jenn Flaum A Question and Answer Session with the Newest Hyland Hills Park and Recreation Board of Directors Member
Question:
Answer:
Can you introduce yourself to our residents?
My name is Jenn Flaum, I was born and raised in Arvada, Colorado. I currently reside in Westminster with my husband and two daughters, ages 18 months and 3 years.
What is your professional background?
I have an undergraduate degree in Social Work from Colorado State University. I earned a Masters Degree in Social Work from Kansas University and went on to earn a Masters Degree in Business Administration from Regis University. Early in my career I worked primarily with children and parents to create a safe and fostering home environment. After returning to Colorado I decided to pursue a career in endof-life care as a hospice social worker and administrator.
Tell us how you first got involved in with Hyland Hills Park & Recreation District?
Hyland Hills facilities. I have fond memories of putt-putting at Adventure Golf, my first round of golf was at the Greg Mastriona Par 3 Course and I spent many summer days at Water World trying to overcome my fear of heights and slides. I have always been committed to serving and contributing to the community that I live in. When I returned to the Westminster/Arvada area 5 years ago I reconnected with the Hyland Hills community. It was apparent that the organization was committed to serving the Hyland Hills residents by providing numerous recreational opportunities and services to the youth and residents of our community. I knew then that this is an organization that I wanted to be a part of for years to come.
Tell us about someone who influenced your decision to run for a Board of Directors seat?
I first had the opportunity to volunteer and contribute to the Hyland Hills community as a volunteer at Hyland Hills Foundation events and fundraisers, like Putts For a Purpose and the Annual Golf Tournament. My husband and father-inlaw served on the foundation board and would regularly discuss the importance and role of the Board of Directors. Over several years I was able to build a relationship with individuals who were serving on the board and many employees of Hyland Hills. When a board seat opened I was honored that I would have the opportunity to be more involved in such a great organization.
