October 2014 - Parks & Recreation - 76

Thank You, Charlotte

E

ach year, NRPA visits a great American city to set up shop for the biggest
park and recreation industry event of the year. It takes all hands here at
headquarters, plus the efforts of dedicated local host committees, to pull
off the event. For the 2014 NRPA Congress, we had the pleasure of working
with several folks from Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, whose work was indispensable in ensuring the best conference to date. From coordinating the many
off-site institutes offered this year to organizing the exciting golf tournament and
Fun Run, the 2014 Local Host Committee went all-out to provide visitors with
many options for entertainment and education while at NRPA Congress.
Below, find the names and titles of
the Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation staffers who dedicated their time
and expertise to this year's event. We
couldn't have pulled it off without these
passionate park and recreation profes-

sionals, so if you see them at NRPA
Congress, be sure to shake their hands!
