SUMMARY:
In April of 2022, the Parks and Recreation Director was appointed to the National Recreation and Park Association, Revenue Development and Management School, Board of Regents. The Revenue Development and Management School is a comprehensive and unique professional development program focusing on proven revenue management and development techniques. It's targeted towards agencies that rely wholly or in part on generating revenues, such as organizations associated with state or local parks, recreation, leisure services, military recreation, and other nonprofits. Attendees learn best- practice techniques taught by practitioners who have demonstrated their efficacy and success within their own agencies. This school features thought- provoking sessions, best- in- practice trends, and a unique way to network and connect with Parks and Recreation professionals from across the Country. Serving on the Board of Regents is an initial three- year commitment, and this is year two of three. Staff is requesting Council approval of the attached resolution authorizing out- of- state travel.
BACKGROUND:
Established in 1965, the Revenue Development and Management School marked the inception of a national revenue education program and remains the sole Revenue School benefiting agencies that rely wholly or in part on generating revenues, such as state or local parks, recreation, leisure services, military recreation, and other nonprofits. Serving on the Board, each Regent helps organize, plan, and teach bestpractice techniques to professionals from across the United States and Canada.
Additionally, the school allows for our Parks and Recreation Director to immerse himself in an unparalleled learning experience, while engaging with fellow Board of Regents and accomplished professionals who are pioneers in Revenue Management and Development. Attendance will not only provide staff with current best practices, • but it will also foster partnerships with fellow professionals and will assist our Parks and Recreation Department in the continued development of the community and sense of pride.
