An Online Workshop Series for Park and Recreation Professionals
The best of the best in the Park and Recreation profession have mastered the challenges of adapting, overcoming and re-creating themselves and their organizations in order to thrive, even in tumultuous times. Are you ready?
MRPA has partnered with the Florida Recreation and Park Association to present a educational online workshop series designed specifically to assist park and recreation professionals in "Leading the Heart of the Community in Changing Times." The program will identify cutting-edge collaborative strategies and proven concepts for building community capacity, both of which are needed to take on the challenges facing the profession today.
Ian Hill, considered to be one of North America's leading advocates for those in the parks, recreation and community services field, will guide attendees through the 12-month training series held via live streaming video sessions, which allow for a real-time sharing of ideas and information. Those who are unable to view the live sessions will have access to on-demand footage which can be viewed at any time.
This educational, year-long journey will equip all staff members to be active, creative and engaged in your community's solution to the challenges ahead, while spurring an attitude shift in how staff see themselves and how the public views your agency.
All sessions will be held at 11:00 a.m. EST. Remaining sessions are as follows:
