Rachel Flatley

Rachel Flatley has been with the Winfield Recreation Council for 12 years. During those years, she has not only run the Baseball program but stepped in to take over the secretary position for WRC, among many other roles. This past year, Rachel has done multiple research projects for the Board, along with her secretary duties. She can be counted on for anything that needs to be done – she’s the first one to raise her hand. She worked with the new President on an AI project to implement automatic minute taking, which makes the minutes immediate and available to the WRC members. This year during elections, the new secretary was apprehensive about taking on the duties of the position, but Rachel agreed to stay on and help the newly appointed secretary until she was comfortable. Without Rachel’s constant help, the WRC would not be progressing and embracing future technology, which will make it easier for volunteers in the future.
