2016 Exceptional Workplace Award Applications

Park and Recreation agencies applying for the 2016 Exceptional Workplace Award must complete an online survey (the link to the survey will be emailed to you once you complete the registration form). It includes a series of 46 questions, and each question must be answered. A point value has been assigned to each question, which the committee will use when your questions are being reviewed and tallied. Once the survey has been reviewed, if the committee feels that there is a need for documentation, your agency will be notified prior to the final decision. Surveys must be completed by October 10, 2016.

If the park and recreation agency meets the award criteria, the recognition as an IPRA Exceptional Workplace is five years. Park and recreation agencies may re-apply five years after receiving the IPRA Exceptional Workplace award for subsequent consideration. If a park and recreation agency does NOT meet the minimum award requirements during their application year, they may re-apply the following year at no additional cost.

Agencies that meet the criteria will receive the Exceptional Workplace Award at the 2017 IAPD/IPRA Annual Conference, during the IPRA business meeting.
