Ward named sole finalist for Stephens County Parks and Recreation Director

The Stephens County Board of Commissioners approved a motion announcing Matt Ward as the sole finalist for the position of Stephens County Parks and Recreation Director.

Following the required 14-day public notice period, Ward will fill the position left vacant by former Director Richard Adams, who retired earlier this month.

Currently, Ward serves as the Stephens County Assistant Athletics and Program Director.

Stephens County Administrator Phyllis Ayers says the county must wait 14-days before Ward can formally fill the position.

The board unanimously approved the motion to offer Ward the position.
