February 2014 - Parks & Recreation - 8

Web Exclusives

Each month, Parks & Recreation Magazine's editors and contributors share
insight on the NRPA Now blog
about the articles published in each
issue, and you may find it interesting to get a little backstory on what
you read in these pages. This month,
William Lebzelter of Colorado's Jeffco Open Space will share some of
the nuts-and-bolts information that
he couldn't fit into his feature article about video marketing ( " Moving
Pictures, Telling Stories, " page 54),
such as best practices, equipment and
a few technical pointers. Also, Nick
Hardigg, executive director of Oregon's Portland Parks Foundation,
will offer his perspective on the city's
recent Parke Diem event ( " Seizing
the Day, " page 16) and shares tips on
how you can launch a similarly successful volunteer event in your town.
Check out these posts coming this
month and read up on some other recent entries from field experts, NRPA
staff and members like you on www.

If you're planning to attend NRPA's Legislative Forum in Washington, D.C.,
next month, make sure you don't miss out on one or both of the pre-event
webinars set up to help you prepare and make the most of your trip. These
are scheduled for February 26 and March 12, and all registrants will receive
emailed information on how to attend. The webinars are free and will include
information such as details on our legislative platform, travel and meeting tips,
and advice from seasoned Capitol Hill veterans (e.g., you'll do more walking
than you realize, so make sure your professional shoes are comfortable to walk
in), plus an opportunity to ask questions from NRPA's Public Policy team. To
start, make sure you don't miss this month's Advocacy column ( " Legislative
Forum: Tips and What to Expect, " page 27), written by David Tyahla, NRPA's
senior government affairs manager. We look forward to seeing you in D.C.!

As you read the magazine each month, you may find yourself wishing to comment or provide feedback on some of the articles, and we really do want to hear
from you! At the bottom of any article on www.parksandrecreation.org, you
can enter your name, email address and thoughts on what you've read. We
want the articles we publish to generate discussion among members and other advocates of parks and recreation, so let us know what you think!
