Bi-Weekly Update - October 15, 2026

BI-WEEKLY UPDATE Message from Maggie Two weeks ago, Pat O’Mara, Keisha, Savonta, Travis, Rember and I attended the NPRA conference in Philadelphia to earn CEUs, meet with potential vendors and most importantly, accept our award for earning CAPRA accreditation. At our January 27, 2027 all-staff meeting, we will review what led to our success in earning this very prestigious certification, a designation earned by a total of 220 parks and recreation agencies across the United States. We will also go over the six standards that we did not meet and our plan to earn 100% compliance when we seek re-accreditation in 2031. One of the conference highlights was an outstanding keynote from Shola Richards about what it means for an organization to have kindness as a business strategy. His main message was the following: Kindness is a competitive advantage. We do not have to choose between being kind and delivering results. Organizations that imbed kindness into their cultures gain trust, retention and resilience. Three strategic kindness pillars: Start within. Begin with self-kindness and self-care. You can’t give kindness to others if you don’t practice it on yourself. Just today. Take action
