The California JPIA’s Parks & Recreation Academy was held on February 13–15 at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego. The Academy, a two-and-a-half-day training event, is designed to address the challenges and responsibilities of managers and supervisors and provide them with knowledge, techniques, and solutions. Attendees gained valuable insights on playground safety, defending your agency against playground litigation, background checks for volunteers and part-time employees, and contractual risk transfer.
“I loved the Academy,” said attendee Anthony Nguyen. “As a new supervisor who has dealt with contracts and insurance in a limited capacity, this has been extremely helpful.”
The next Parks & Recreation Academy will be held February 11–13, 2025.
The Authority’s academies are multi-day training seminars focusing on a specific public sector discipline. They allow attendees to interact with their peers and share real-world challenges and successes.
