We’ve made it this far; let’s keep it going! Summer 2022 opening day is a few months away. You are making your plans and meeting with your fellow park and recreation professionals to see what they have planned as well. Join this interactive roundtable discussion covering topics ranging from opening operations to the day the facility closes for the season.

Topics include: 1) Recruitment: Tips, tricks and what works; 2) Training: Making it fun and engaging for all; and 3) Guard Games 2022: It’s back!
