9:30 - 11:30 am: Sustainability - What does it Mean to You? 0.2 CEU’s

Whether you’re building new athletic fields, refurbishing a public park, you want that green space to provide beauty, enjoyment, and recreation for years to come, meeting the needs of today’s generation while protecting those of the future is essential. 

Then join Ian Lacy of Tom Irwin Advisors and Carl Samuelson of Newtown Parks and Recreation where their combined 75 years of experience will help you better understand and provide insight of what sustainability is, why it is important and how to achieve it, by carrying out a needs analysis, exploring and analyzing usage and labor, evaluating equipment needs, identifying budgets requirements and timelines, and non-pesticide use and so much more! Come and learn about how sustainability is an investment not a cost and how to safeguard and see a return on this investment? And finally, how you can implement a succession plan on this important sustainability investment.

12:30 - 2:30 pm: All I Really Need to Know about Marketing I Learned on Netflix 0.2 CEU’s

Stream a little too much tv on quarantine? Good news...it was all research! From Tiger King and the Fyre Festival to Friends, pop culture is full of inspiration (and red flags!) we can use to improve our programs, customer service & marketing. Marketing and customer service can be overwhelming, but the basics of what to (and what NOT to) do are all around us. The session is not only full of must-see-tv ideas & inspiration, it will help users learn to spot those clues the next time they tune in. Stay tuned!
