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,

Sarah Reid
