Community Town Hall Meetings with BREC
We are pleased to announce that BREC Interim Superintendent Janet Simmons will host a series of community town hall meetings throughout July and early August in cities across East Baton Rouge Parish.
These meetings are an opportunity for the public to learn more about Superintendent Simmons’ vision, goals, and key initiatives for her six-month tenure. With new Commission leadership now representing all five cities—Baton Rouge, Zachary, Baker, Central, and St. George—this series marks a vital step in building a more inclusive, transparent, and connected future for parks and recreation in our parish.
Each event will include:
- A brief presentation from Interim Superintendent Simmons
- A Q+A session to promote open dialogue with residents
- Livestreaming to ensure accessibility for all
- Light refreshments for attendees
We encourage all community members to attend and share their thoughts on how BREC can better serve our parish.
**Want to attend but will have kids with you? BREC-on-the-Geaux will be at there to keep the kids busy!
