I'll make this quick since most of you just want the handouts from the FOUR super-fun sessions (well, I thought they were wonderful, I hope you had a good time) I presented at the 2012 California Park and Recreation Conference in Long Beach Last Week.
I have been attending this Conference for almost 20 years. (I think my first CPRS conference was in San Diego in 1994 or 1995.) This conference was special, however. Not only did I notice a young, enthusiastic audience in each of my session rooms. But, there was also a feeling of optimism that has been missing over the past few years. There is still the bad news of still-shrinking budgets; an economy that seems super-glued to a place called "STUCK" and the fact that many park and recreation agencies disappeared altogether or have been merged (or swallowed by) other departments. But, it also seems as if many departments have gone through the cuts required to move forward bringing HOPE back into a profession that delivers HOPE and HAPPINESS to so many Californians.
What did you think of the atmosphere at Conference? Do you agree that there was a sense of optimism or was I just hanging out with happy people? Before you download the handouts, leave a comment or two to let me know your thoughts...
