McNany Named Joint Recreation Director

Brian M. McNany, the current Long Hill Township recreation director who has been serving as the township's interim recreation director, has been named the new head of the Joint Recreation Department of the Chathams.

Borough Recreation Director Carol Nauta has been named the deputy director. She withdrew her name for consideration for the top job, according to Borough Mayor Nelson Vaughan.

"We believe that Brian and Carol will make an outstanding team and will provide the leadership to move our joint department forward,"  Vaughan and Township Mayor Nicole Hagner said in a joint news release this afternoon.

The two municipalities had separate recreation departments for over 20 years before the borough and the township decided to merge the two.

McNany and Nauta were selected from a field of 40 applicants.
