MEMBERSHIP FEEDBACK

Thank you for all your work. Once again the Institute was a highlight!

Lowell Caneday, Ph.D.

What an honor to be selected as a speaker for the 63rd Annual Southwest Parks and Recreation Training Institute. This great group of professionals came together from all agency levels and divisions across the country for continuing education. The institute offers a unique opportunity for Parks and Recreation Professionals to gain national insight from real-time projects and programs.

Kevin Eatherly, 2018 Speaker

Again, thank you for not only the blessing of tuition assistance, networking, and insightful professional development learning, but also for the warm reception and welcome that I enjoyed from all your friendly and hospitable members and speakers. If I am in Africa this time next year, I will surely be missing and wishing for the opportunity to be with y'all again.

Karl Noren, 2018 Scholarship Recipient

All of my staff that attended said it was a great experience so you and the Board are to be congratulated. We plan to try and have more at the 64th and I think OKC will be sending at least one person to your new Maintenance school over in Colorado.

Douglas Kupper, OKC
