Ruby is frequently asked to present a pre-conference workshop for
associations when she is providing a keynote for a state or national
conference. This workshop can be used as a fundraiser for the association.
Because Ruby is recognized nationally in the field of Parks and
Recreation, offering a workshop presented by her can be a great
draw for enrollment.
Some agencies can’t send a large number of staff to a conference
because someone has to stay home and run the programs. Offering
a pre-conference workshop allows some staff to attend the pre-conference
and others to attend the main conference. This spreads out the educational
opportunities to all levels of the profession.
Ruby recommends choosing only two sessions from above for a full
day workshop. The registration fee can be for the full day or you
can charge for each program separately.
