Cindy Cseri (1/21/2023)
Cindy’s full-time career included 13 years of managing residence halls on college campuses, managing a private campground, and 23 years managing staff in distribution centers. Cindy is now retired and will begin traveling to see what she missed in the first go-round adventures.
Cindy’s passion for the outdoors has taken her to 48 of the 50 states and provided her with many opportunities for hiking, kayaking, skiing, and photography. All of these experiences have bolstered her passion for ensuring parks are preserved, protected, and enhanced for future generations.
In 2008 Cindy joined the Friends of Mirror Lake State Park group and since that time, she has been the vice president, president, and secretary. The last 15 years have provided endless opportunities to work with volunteers and park staff to enhance and improve the park facilities at Mirror Lake and to assist with providing great interpretative programs. In 2019, Cindy became a part-time naturalist, which offered the experience of day-to-day interactions with visitors. An excellent opportunity to educate them on the wonders of nature and how they can be good stewards of our natural resources.
Cindy has joined the FWSP board to ensure the Wisconsin State Parks are able to provide outstanding experiences and interpretation for visitors, and outstanding facilities, and to protect the natural resources for future generations.
