Advocacy
Park and Recreation Commissioners and Boards play an important role in local government. As advocates, they lobby for legislation, share information with local leaders, keep a pulse on the community they serve, and advise local officials on issues pertaining to parks and recreation. Since Commissioners often term-out and Board Members may lose an election, it is imperative that valued information be transferred to new Commissioners and Board Members so that the community they serve maintains faith and trust that their local resources are continuously made available to them.
