Dear Recreation Professionals,
Within the next five
years, Ohio will experience a significant
number of directors retiring, leaving approximately 30% of the top-level
positions to younger professionals and Ohio
will be counting on you in the future to fill these positions
As we begin to prepare
our park and recreation professionals for these top level positions, you are
being encouraged to attend this year’s Leadership Academy.
The academy is designed to introduce topics and share valuable knowledge about
issues and situations that directors encounter. This year’s academy
offers two tracs: Effective Leadership and new this year, Executive
Development.
Your attendance at the OPRA Leadership
Academy is strongly
recommended. There is still time to register for both tracs.
I hope you consider being a part of this fantastic opportunity to develop
new leadership and executive skills. Space
is limited so please make sure to sign up early.
For more Information or
to register go online to the OPRA website at www.opraonline.org or call the
OPRA office at 614-895-2222.
