As a fitness/wellness professional and CPRP in parks and recreation, I've seen firsthand how new ideas can quickly gain attention, but not all of them lead to lasting community benefit. This online learning event will help participants distinguish between short-term fads and sustainable trends, equipping them with tools to make informed programming decisions. Drawing from my experience in program development and community engagement, I'll share practical strategies to evaluate innovation, align with evidence-based practices, and use resources wisely. This session is designed for parks and recreation professionals who want to stay current while maintaining credibility, efficiency, and long-term impact.

This talk is available for 1 year from release date!
