Here at NRPA, we strive to bring you
the best in professional development,
whether through our accreditation
programs, continuing education opportunities or NRPA Congress. As
we discussed in our April issue (www.
parksandrecreation.org/2014/April/
Volunteer-Oppor tunities-with-NRPA),
another vital part of enhancing your
presence in the industry is through volunteerism, and to that end, we've established an online hub where you can find
several opportunities to volunteer with
NRPA. We're looking for contributing
bloggers and writers, researchers, Congress volunteers and more. Go to www.
nrpa.org/volunteer to see what's available, and check back often as we're always adding new opportunities.
By now, you probably know online registration is open for the 2014
NRPA Congress, held October 14-16
in Charlotte, North Carolina. You can
visit www.nrpa.org/Congress2014 to
register, review event details, see program highlights, learn about exhibitor
and sponsorship opportunities, find
a place to stay and more. Of course,
sometimes all you need is a quick
overview to make sure you've covered all the bases ahead of your trip to
Charlotte. To that end, we've created
the Congress Snapshot. Go to http://
ow.ly/wLll7 to review the comprehensive PDF, which includes all the
details, dates and deadlines you need
to make this year's Congress the best
yet. Whether this will be your first
Congress or your 49th, we'll look forward to seeing you this fall!

Did you know 2015 will mark the 30th anniversary of Park and Recreation
Month? We here at NRPA are so excited to celebrate the occasion that we
want your help - starting now! As we move into July and this year's observance of Park and Recreation Month, we'd like you to approach the occasion
with a photographer's eye. Take lots of pictures that exemplify how you, your
neighbors and your park and recreation agency make the most of community
parks, green spaces and outdoor activities, but don't put your camera down
once July is over. Keep on shooting festivals, group hikes, fitness classes and
other park- or recreation-related events through the end of the year, because
one of those images could end up as the July 2015 Parks & Recreation Magazine cover! Beginning August 1 and continuing through the end of 2014,
we'll ask for your photo submissions. Then, a handful of the best images will
be put to a public vote on our Facebook page next spring! Images should be
composed with the magazine cover in mind - see above or go to http://
digital.parksandrecreation.org for inspiration - and be high-resolution, at
8.5 inches by 11 inches, 300 dpi or higher. Submissions or questions may
be emailed to Senior Marketing and Communications Specialist Roxanne
Sutton at rsutton@nrpa.org. Please mention " 2015 Park and Recreation
Month Cover Contest " in the subject line.
