Fox Valley Park District to appoint Jennifer Paprocki as new executive director

The Fox Valley Park District announced it will appoint Jennifer Paprocki as its new executive director after a four-month process that began with a national search.

A 12-year veteran of FVPD’s administrative team, Paprocki will become the agency’s seventh executive director in its 76-year history. Her appointment was unanimously approved at the FVPD’s December meeting and she officially will take over on Jan. 1, 2024.

Hired as an assistant director of finance in 2010, Paprocki was promoted to director in November 2020. In her first major initiative as department head, Paprocki developed and implemented an economic relief plan for all employees in response to financial hardships resulting from the pandemic.

Paprocki and her husband, Jason, live in North Aurora with their two children, Alexandra and Connor.
