Professional Development Opportunities

The Executive Development Program

The Executive Development Program (EDP) is a two-year program. Each year consists of a 22- to 30-hour week of intense classroom instruction. The week begins on Sunday evening with registration, dinner and orientation and closes on Thursday evening with a graduation banquet. EDP provides training and networking opportunities to professionals with a focus on the latest concepts, practices, and management techniques needed to continually improve themselves, their departments, and the communities they serve. Plan to join us in 2012 - TBA. 

Edith Upchurch

The Edith Upchurch Innovative Programming Forum was established in 1974 as a venue to provide educational opportunities specifically intended for recreation programmers. With agency budgets being cut and programmers being asked to do more with less, this conference offers direct service providers with the best and most innovative recreation programs and ideas in our profession. Plan to join us in 2012 -  TBA.
