Ashburn, Va. (June 20, 2017) — For the fourth year in a row, the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) has been awarded a Top Workplaces honor by The Washington Post. The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including Alignment, Execution, and Connection, just to name a few.
“NRPA is proud to be named a ‘Top Workplace’ for the fourth year in a row,” said Barbara Tulipane, CAE, NRPA president and CEO. “Carrying this distinction allows us to retain exceptional employees and attract new talent, setting us apart from other associations in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.”
Based in Loudoun County, Virginia, NRPA is the leading non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that all Americans have access to parks and recreation for health, conservation and social equity. The award-winning association employs more than 50 full-time professionals that specialize in operations; conferences; conservation; membership and professional development; research; finance; marketing and communications; publishing; partner and business development; fundraising; and public policy.
