WEBINAR: Learning About PRORAGIS - 3/21/12
10:00 AM - 11:30 AM Speakers: Bill Beckner and Hayley Jackson, NRPA All who plan to attend the webinar should have at least created a login and browsed through the database. We would like participants to have some familiarity with PRORAGIS so that everyone is prepared for an interactive webinar session. Also, this will also help attendees prepare questions ahead of time. Also, join the PRORAGIS discussion group on NRPA Connect prior to the webinar! Members of the group can share the questions and concerns that arise while completing their departments PRORAGIS profile –before and after the webinar. The discussion group is a resource that all PRORAGIS users should be taking advantage of. It gives you the chance to receive support not only from NRPA staff and PRORAGIS developers but also from other park and recreation professionals using the database. Need more evidence of the value of participating in PRORAGIS? Check out NRPA’s first national database report based on the data so far collected in PRORAGIS. As NRPA continues to add profiles to its inventory, the database will offer even more information, data and reporting capabilities—all to help you address trends in the industry, carry out day-to-day functions, build credibility with decision-makers and the public, and position your department to be a major positive force in your community’s health, culture, and economy.
