Thompson holds a bachelor’s degree in parks and recreation management from UNC Wilmington, the release added.
“I would like to thank the Town of Carolina Beach for giving me this opportunity,” Thompson said. “I have really enjoyed working with this community as programs superintendent. I look forward to continue working to improve our parks, facilities and programs and as parks and recreation director.”
