Hot off the heels of the 2017 NRPA Annual Conference the creative juices are flowing and new ideas are in abundance for park and recreation professionals around the country. It is time to harness that energy into an innovative education session proposal for the 2018 NRPA Annual Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. The call for presentations for next year’s conference will be released in November 2017, and we are seeking energetic and engaging facilitators to lead impactful learning experiences focused on NRPA’s Three Pillars: Health and Wellness, Social Equity and Conservation. Start thinking about your proposal now, as we will be soliciting them soon!
