This Program is a two-and-a-half day educational experience that addresses the pressing need to practice financial discipline and acknowledge the responsibility and privilege park and recreation professionals have as stewards of taxpayer dollars! Each and every day we get to spend their money. What a responsibility! We hold in our hands the power to impact communities by how we manage these resources. How we spend, how we generate revenues, and how we work to create a financially sustainable future for our organizations and for the field of parks and recreation.

Registration fee includes all meals (3 continental breakfasts and 2 lunches). *CEU's will be through CPRS and not OPRA*
