Good to Know
The Annual FRPA Conference is a gathering of recreation and park professionals
for a time of learning, connecting and creating memories. Conference serves as a
concentrated time to get away from the office or field and immerse yourself in all things
relating to parks and recreation. This year the theme is “Parks and Reconomics”.
Telling people how important parks and recreation is to their community is easy.
When we try to quantify it is when things get difficult. Sessions during this year’s
conference will help equip you with the tools you need to calculate and communicate
the impact your agency has on your community.
The Conference Committee reserves the right to re-schedule, cancel and add courses to the Conference Program.
Every effort is made to minimize changes. In the event of a change, those who have pre-registered for sessions
affected will be notified. You are strongly encouraged to pre-register in order to assure you are contacted with
program changes. Once on-site you will receive an up-to-date conference program, which you should utilize to
confirm your selected activities.
