The 2007-2008 board retreat was an
extremely productive start to the New Year. It is very
exciting to have so many outstanding professionals working together.
I would invite all members to attend a board meeting this year and
have your voice and input heard. The board outlined the
Calendar of Events for the
coming year, please take a look to see upcoming meeting dates and
locations. There will be many
opportunities for networking and to expose new employees, policy
makers and commissioners to the benefits of being involved with this
professional organization. The board outlined the
The Board is working on an action plan to
put the results of or District VII survey to work. The action
plan discussion will be at the top of the agenda for all meetings
this year. The board reviewed the goals from last year and
deleted the accomplishments and added new ones to give direction on
what was determined to be the priorities.
CPRS District VII 2007-2008 Goals:
1. Support and continue to incorporate
States Ends Policies in District VII.
2. Specific areas will be targeted in our
fundraising activities, i.e. scholarships, PAC, special programs,
etc.
3. Create an action plan to implement
District VII needs assessment results.
4. Offer more opportunities for parks to
be more involved within District VII.
5. Offer training for Aquatics staff
within District VII.
The board reviewed the by-laws during the
retreat and made additions/deletions to them. The by-laws will
be sent out via email to the membership for review before the
general membership meeting in August.
The scholarship for SuperCal was sent out
via email. The board agreed to send one member to SuperCal.
I would encourage new individuals to the profession and veterans who
have not attended in a while to take advantage of this opportunity.
The application is available on the website.
I would like to give a big "thank you" to
the City of Fresno and Brian Enns for hosting this year's Summer
Leaders Workshop. It was a great event!
Thank you,
