Welcome and Greetings to All!

Everywhere you look, people are getting into shape. Even diet foods are shaping up with "low-carb" options, so it makes perfect sense that we celebrate parks and recreation with this year's theme: "Shaping Our Future with Parks and Recreation."

This year, we have a fabulous line-up of educational sessions to flex your park and recreation muscles! We will keep you up-to-date on everything from construction and management to legal issues and technology. If you want a little more exercise, check out our pre-conference workshops and bulk up on CEUs. And since we understand the importance of a good support system when "shaping up," opportunities to meet with old friends — and make some new ones along the way— will be plentiful.

The parks, recreation centers and natural areas that we have helped create and save throughout the years are our gifts — gifts of beauty and quality of life — to generations to come. Let us continue "Shaping Our Future with Parks and Recreation."

Start your training now! It's warm-up time for the 2005 IAPD/IPRA Conference in Chicago. We can't wait to see you!
