Since 1994 I've been honored to be part of the National Recreation and Park Association's Annual Congress. So many wonderful times and, I'm sure 2017 will be dazzling! The file below is my presentation from this year's MarCom Boot Camp (That's Marketing Communications for those without a jargon dictionary). Thrilled to be joining a fine group of trainers for this full-day Pre-Conference Workshop.

I've been attending the NRPA Congress since the mid 90's and I must admit, I am as excited about this conference as I felt at the beginning of my journey into the park and recreation profession. I began as a brand-builder launching the Benefits are Endless... Campaign with people who have become both professional and personal friends. This year, the Benefits are Endless... celebrates 20 years of helping tell the park and recreation story through its catch phrases and graphics which have evolved, transformed and elevated the public perception of parks and recreation agencies through the world. This year at Congress I will be presenting two of my most popular programs in their unabridged versions and with resources included. I hope you'll stop by and say "Hello!" and sit in on a session or two. The long versions of both sessions are posted below. Have a wonderful conference and happy schmoozing!

It's an honor to be part of WRPA's 50th Anniversary Conference in the Wisconsin Dells, where, as a Minnesota girl, I spent many a summer vacation. But, of course, a conference is more than fun and games and I hope to pass along lots of great ideas to those who attend my sessions. Here are the handouts and bonus material I promised my audience. Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite topics since I work so often with teens and young adults in my personal life. I live with a teenager and volunteer regularly in his theatre class so I get to see, hear and experience what motivates kids today. While my son and his peers don't represent all young adults, they continually remind me that what worked to motivate me in the 70's and 80's may or may not work today. My sessiona at the Nevada Recreation and Park Association Conference was a great conversation. Here are the slides and additional materials I promised to those who attended. Download Staff 2013
Here is the Customer Care Assessment I promised to post. Use it as part of your interview process. Remember... you can't train personality!

Finally, here's a longer version of the handouts. Let me know if I can help with your upcoming staff training. Either live or via webinar an outside trainer can make a real difference in how your staff hears the message.
