Message from the Executive Director
As so many of you get ready to roll out your summer programs, open your pools, or prepare for your summer festivals, let me give you some exciting IPRA updates before you get too busy.
|
Professional Development
The way you communicate greatly influences the outcome of a conversation. What you say and when and how you say it determines the conversation’s success or failure. We will discuss multiple communication models, helping you determine what will be the most successful approach for you and your staff.
|
Attendees will have the opportunity to:
- Learn new leadership techniques
- Behavior management techniques
- Participate in new activities
- Network with camp staff from other agiencies
|
Using real social media success stories including West Sacramento’s highly effective strategies, we’ll demonstrate how to increase response, revenue and engage customers, volunteers and staff using a strategic team approach to social media management.
|
Mark your calendars now to attend "Oh The Places You Will Go in Parks and Rec", this year’s theme for the 2015 Professional Development School (PDS), November 8-11 in Decatur, IL. Additional details including event speakers, schedule and registration will be available soon.
