The holidays inevitably left us thinking about our finances as we budgeted for presents, parties and celebrating the new year. You probably were thinking about your department’s finances, too. As park and recreation departments rely more and more on generating revenue versus taxpayer dollars, knowing how to generate that revenue is more important than ever. The Revenue Development and Management School teaches those responsible for generating revenue just how to do it. Gary of North Carolina called it the “best educational experience I have had in my professional career.” The school takes place March 11–16 in Wheeling, West Virginia.
