BELONGING, WELLBEING & JOY are three things everyone can get behind, right? This is National Recreation and Park Association 's beautiful vision of a future in which Parks & Rec are central. Being on NRPA's board is one of the funnest and most meaningful things I do. I'm super happy to be in Atlanta for national conference at which we'll launch NRPA's new strategic plan which we have been working on for the last couple of years. #WhereYouBelong #NRPAConference2024 #PowerOfParks #ParksAndRec
