effective park and recreation advocates.
Just like our 2015 webinars, the 2016
Park Champion webinar series will be
packed with information on key park
and recreation legislation, advocacy
tips and tricks, and a premier slate of
guest speakers. Stay tuned for a calendar of 2016 webinars. Did you miss
any of our 2015 Park Champion webinars? Don't worry! Archived recorded
webinars are available at www.nrpa.
org/park-champions/calendar.
Speak Up
We're excited to announce that NRPA
is now using CQ Engage, an innovative advocacy tool that makes it easier
than ever for you to have your voices heard. With Engage, it takes just
a few moments and the simple click
of a button to be an advocate for the
parks and recreation issues that mat-

ter most. Check out our new Engage
site at www.nrpa.org/advocacy-enage
and take action today.
Activate Your Networks
NRPA is more than 50,000 members
strong, but for each member agency, there are hundreds to thousands
of volunteers and citizen advocates.
Through webinars and an updated
advocacy guide, we'll be training our
Park Champions on how to activate
their networks to advocate for federal
parks and recreation policy.
Park Champion CoordiNation
In 2016, we'll be ramping up opportunities for Park Champions across
the nation to coordinate as a community. Using NRPA Connect, Park
Champions will brainstorm ideas
and network with other Champions.

Maintain and Bolster Relationships
Many NRPA members and Park
Champions have either long-standing
or recently established relationships
with elected officials, so in 2016,
we'll be working with our Champions to help them maintain and bolster these relationships.
