10:00 - 12:00 am: Macroeconomics and Parks & Recreation 0.2 CEU’s
Can the national economy effect your local parks & recreation department? What happens at the national level such as inflation, price levels, rate of economic growth, national income, gross domestic product (GDP), and changes in unemployment can have a large impact at the local level. Parks and Recreation services and programs are heavily impacted by macroeconomics; mitigating the impact of economic and consumer changes enhances financial resilience and sustainability.
Join Chris Nunes to explore how these factors can affect the purchasing decisions your residents (your consumers) make, and the impact program pricing (your commodity) has on them. Come away with an understanding of economic trends and the impact on your parks & recreation department.
