Hefter's first session, Presenting Agency Benefits to Your Community and Board, could not come at a better time. In our current economic climate, it's even more pressing that Park and Recreation agencies prove their importance within their communities.

This session begins at 8:30 a.m. in Regency room A.

Hefter's next session is entitled Lifeguarding: How Do We Want the Public to Perceive Us? will take place at 10 a.m. in Regency room A. This session will discuss the different ways in which a lifeguard's actions could be perceived, or even misinterpreted, by the public.
