Ruby has worked with the best agencies in the country. After presenting over 750 programs for parks and recreation departments throughout North America, she has identified key characteristics of successful agencies. This session covers those quality issues surrounding a "Best Practice' approach to agency management. Participants will discuss the qualities of an efficient and effective parts and recreation agency and will look at individual opportunities to become "agents of change" in their organizations. Attendees will outline action items for implementing suggested "Best Practices" and be invited to participate in Ruby's "return to sender" postcard program. That means they will commit to what steps they are going to take after the session and receive their personal action item postcard in the mail three weeks following the session.
Parks and Recreation . . . The Benefits are Endless . . .™ This program is an overview of the training program developed by the National Recreation and Park Association in 1996. According to Jodi Rudick, "Everyone in the world has somehow benefited by public park and recreation programs at some time in their lives - directly or indirectly. The time has come to make the connection between past experiences and today's success, yesterday's activities and tomorrow's physical and mental wellness and today's taxpayer support and safe communities for our children and grandchildren." Whether an avid participant or a dedicated park and recreation professional, it is important to reorganize the benefits of parks and recreation. In this session, learn how you can begin to look at parks and recreation in a new way; in a manner that helps us understand our profession on a bigger, longer lasting scale.
