IRPA presents your 2024 Conference, Explore New Horizons
Lewiston Parks and Recreation and the local host committee look forward to offering an enriching experience for Park and Recreation professionals to learn from experts in the field, network with colleagues and connect with industry suppliers.
THERE ARE MANY REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND!
Offsite Tours, Education for All, Socials, Activities & More!
With active pre-conference opportunities on April 1st taking you to local wineries, down the Snake River or admiring the views provided at Bryden Canyon Golf Course while you play, early April is an excellent time of the year to visit the Lewis-Clark Valley!
We will be providing a variety of conference tracks for agency leaders, frontline personnel and staff in the field. There will be something for everyone and plenty of opportunities to share and interact throughout each session. We have also planned offsite tours that show you the scope of services that the Lewis-Clark Valley provides its visitors and residents alike. You will be able to ask vendors about new technology within the industry and even demo products that are used on a daily basis to increase our own productivity.
We heard you! Everyone enjoys the opportunity to catch up, share ideas and to learn from others that work within our field in Idaho so we have a number of socials that are planned throughout the conference. It's ok to brag or even take an opportunity to relate to others as budgets are tightened and we work to market the benefits and value of parks and recreation to our communities and elected officials.
EARN CEU CREDIT!
You will have the opportunity to earn up to or over 1.1 credits at this year's conference towards your CPRP or CPRE certification through the National Recreation and Park Association. If you are interested in becoming a certified professional, reach out to someone within the state that is! They can be found on the IRPA website or they will be displaying it on their badge at the conference.
We are looking forward to this coming April and to having the opportunity to host everyone at this year's IRPA Conference!
