What is LRPA?
The Louisiana Recreation and Park Association (LRPA) is a
membership organization dedicated to improving recreation and park
facilities, programs, and personnel. Park and recreation employees in
every setting are encouraged to take an active role in assisting the
Louisiana Recreation and Park Association in accomplishing these goals.
The list of services available to LRPA members is extensive. As a member
you will receive the quarterly newsletter that keeps you
informed of recreation and park activities, events, and professional
interest items. You may also participate, at a discounted rate, in
LRPA's annual conference and professional training institutes,
district workshops and local government seminars.
Your LRPA membership will effectively demonstrate your sincere desire to
promote Louisiana's recreation and park professionals, facilities, and
programs. It will assist in the maintenance of high
professional standards throughout the state.
Your membership will also provide opportunities for involvement
and development of special interest areas such as tourism,
legislation, student leadership, therapeutic recreation, recreation
programming, programming for active seniors, youth sports, and coach
training and many more.
As members, your agency is encouraged to host future state meetings,
making your agency a part of your community's economic development.
The largest LRPA membership benefit is the opportunity for you to
network with other park and recreation officials and corporate
suppliers to seek solutions to many challenges our profession faces.
Through member-alert e-mails and the web site, you have learn about
grant and special programming opportunities, such as
programs offered by the National Alliance for Youth Sports and the
Hershey Youth Program.
