NRPA has just released the first installment of
a
new leadership certificate program, int
tended
for all levels of leadership, from
agen directors and department heads to
agency
frontline leaders and those aspiring to lead. The
p ogram co
pr
program
consists of four courses focusing on key
areas of leadership
lea
areas
in parks and recreation: strategic thinking, characterized by various forms of strategic direction, such as master and strategic plans; human
capital management, which looks at how to create an environment in which employees can do their best; operational
leadership, which represents best practices in creating effectiveness, efficiency and accountability; and diversity and
cultural awareness, which includes discussion of creating an
inclusive work environment and providing services to the
community that are welcoming to all. Woven throughout
all these is an emphasis on developing cultural competence
and well-defined organizational values. Organizational excellence is largely accomplished from the development of
these competencies throughout the organization.
The course on strategic thinking has been released, with
the others soon to follow. The entire certificate program will
be worth 1.2 CEU.

All NRPA Schools are held at Oglebay Resort in Wheeling,
West Virginia, unless otherwise noted.
