Links Technology was recognized by The Illinois Association of Park Districts with the “Best Friend of Illinois Parks Award” during it’s Best of The Best annual gala on Oct. 14 to recognize leaders in Illinois’ parks and recreation services, programs and individuals.

This "Best Friend of Illinois Parks" is awarded to a business that has demonstrated exemplary support of a local park district, forest preserve, conservation, recreation or special recreation agency.

Links is thrilled to be recognized for their work by the Association of Park Districts.  Now in their fourth year as a "Park Partner", Links has already designed and developed 4 new websites for the Park District... one each for Schaumburg Golf Club, Walnut Greens golf club, and two for "Parkfun.com" the powerful district site.  Links Technology designed and developed these two powerful new SPD websites with Links own content management system that allows the Park District to control, add, delete, and edit it's own content.  This is essential to an organization that makes frequent changes to its site.  Links has also assisted the district with email marketing, and provided technology consulting as needed.

“I believe in giving back to the community.  Our partnership with The Schaumburg Park district is a perfect example of the power of public/private cooperation.  We've accomplished great things together.  When you give freely of your resources, in the end it comes back to you 100 times over.  We feel that our relationship with the Park District is the ultimate win-win!"

- Brian Burke, Links Technology Solutions President and CEO
