Merrell Wolverine Gridway

Briefly: Merrell Sets Award For Innovative Parks Employees

ROCKFORD, Mich. – The shoemaker and outdoors brand Merrell is setting up a contest and awards contents for individuals or teams who have “shown perseverance at work in the unexpected, ever-changing outdoors.”

“Merrell exists to share the simple power of the outdoors with everyone,” said Elizabeth Czachorski, brand marketing manager at Merrell, in a press release.

The new award, done in conjunction with the The National Recreation and Park Association, honors an individual or team who has shown perseverance at work in the unexpected, ever-changing outdoors.

Parks are a ripe for innovation. While funding and budgets constrict, employees have enormous and wide latitude to try new ideas, programs and initiatives.

The awardee will be sponsored with Merrell gear for one year and will receive $10,000 toward the advancement of a project or effort. Submissions will be accepted September 20 through October 21, 2022, with the winner announced in November.
