April showers bring May flowers, and they also bring lots of activity on NRPA Connect! Check out the preview below of topics being discussed on the only professional networking platform dedicated to the park and recreation profession:

1- Vehicle Wraps

Agencies are looking for ideas to turn their vehicles into mobile advertisements. Do you have an example to share? More than 12 different agencies have shared their creative ideas, now it’s your turn to chime in.

2- Resident vs. Non-Resident Rates

Your colleagues discuss their policies for resident versus non-resident rates. Some questions include: Is the difference you charge a percentage or is it a dollar amount? Does it vary depending on the initial price tag of a program or class? Is there a national standard?

3 - Creating a Social Media Policy

With everyone glued to their phones and looking to Facebook and Instagram for updates on local events, it is important that agencies create a social media policy. NRPA members not only share their policies, but also give suggestions, such as social media brand ambassadors and more!

4 - Foot Golf

Walt Disney World recently opened a new foot golf course on one of its courses in Orlando. As one member noted, Disney typically invests in “positive calculated risks” and their organization keeps a watchful eye on new recreational trends. Have any agencies tried this new trend? Is it worth adding to your recreation offerings?
