MAPLE LEAF AWARD PRESENTED ON APRIL 24, 2017
Brent Carron served as a Park and Recreation Commission member from
2011 to 2017 and served as the Vice Chair from 2013 to 2017. Brent was one of
those special commissioners who gave freely of his time and talents in order to
make Chanhassen a better place. When volunteers were needed, he always raised
his hand. During meetings, Brent made guests feel welcome and carefully listened
to the viewpoints of citizens prior to forming recommendations. Serving as Vice
Chair for five years, Mr. Carron sought balanced testimony from all sides and
ensured that every voice was represented and heard.
Brent maintained an exemplary attendance record while a commissioner and
during his tenure attended nearly every special meeting and field trip. Community
special events were a favorite for Brent and he logged many volunteer hours
helping with Feb Fest Celebrations, Easter Egg Candy Hunts, and many other
community activities. Brent was a strong advocate for investing in parks and trails
and sought to ensure that improvements served all citizens. He was very supportive
of new ideas and sought to give constructive feedback whenever asked. The
community of Chanhassen is a better place as a result of Brent's passion for
service and his enthusiasm to get things done!
