June 2022 - Parks & Recreation - 15

Introducing NRPA's New Business Council
N
RPA recently announced
the launch of its Business
Council - a collaboration
that will strengthen connections
between the essential role of
parks and recreation and the business
sector.
The council focuses on advancing
park and recreation solutions
in four key areas: relationship
building, advocacy, innovation and
research. Local park and recreation
agencies generated more than $166
billion in U.S. economic activity
and supported 1.1 million jobs in
2017. The powerful impact parks
and recreation has on economic
activity highlights how park and
recreation offerings are not merely
" nice-to-have " services, but how essential
they are to building strong,
healthy and resilient communities
for all. " We are thrilled to launch
this new initiative and bring Business
Council members together to
explore, share and deploy powerful
park and recreation solutions, "
says NRPA President and CEO
Kristine Stratton.
" Increased dialogue can help
bring more innovative products and
services to the park and recreation
field faster, " says Paula Sliefert,
NRPA Business Council chair and
senior manager, sports fields and
grounds for The Toro Company.
" The Toro Company is proud to
invest in industries like parks and
recreation, and I look forward to
working with my colleagues on the
Business Council to promote solutions
that build stronger, healthier
and more resilient communities. "
The Business Council comprises
strategic
thinkers and collaborative
decision-makers, representing
businesses and allies who care
deeply about parks and recreation.
Business Council members also
represent organizations that have
demonstrated commitment to diversity,
equity and inclusion (DEI)
and support the advancement of
DEI in park and recreation programs,
policies and practices.
