Your leadership has a direct impact on the success or failure of your programs, plans and even department staff performance. Why not ensure you’ve got the right skills and knowledge to supervise successfully by attending a training designed for the park and recreation supervisor-professional? For more than 25 years, Supervisors’ Management School has been teaching rising leaders in parks and recreation the skills they need to excel, and many of the former attendees have taken what they learned and used it to climb the ladder to high-level positions in the field. This popular school sells out year after year, so make sure you secure your spot soon.
