With former director Vicki Duffy's retirement last month, the Old Saybrook Parks & Recreation Commission has opened a search for her replacement.

The commission is advertising for an individual who would "develop, direct, administer, and manage a comprehensive parks and recreation program, including facilities" and operate indoor and outdoor recreation programs and department budgets.

Qualifications desired include an individual with a bachelor's degree in recreation, physical education, or a closely related area and a minimum of four years of increasingly responsible experience in municipal or group recreation and park administration work.

Résumé and cover letter should be mailed to First Selectman, Town of Old Saybrook,

302 Main Street, Old Saybrook, CT 06475-2384 or sent by email to

lcarver@town.old-saybrook.ct.us by April 30.
