Shellito will present two sessions on Wednesday, February 4.

The first session, Good to Great, begins at 8:30 a.m. in Desoto Rooms A and B. This session identifies key reasons that some park professionals and agencies are more successful than others. Shellito will outline the characteristics of high performing individuals and agencies, highlighting what you can do to go from good to great.

Next, join Shellito for Wednesday's featured session Partner or Perish. As the name implies, this crucial session will help attendees make the most of existing partnerships, while learning how to foster new relationships and collaborations. In keeping with this year's conference theme, let's "Get in the Game" during this session, and together we can learn how to create meaningful partnerships that benefit our local parks and facilities. Partner or Perish will begin at 10 a.m. in the same location, Desoto rooms A and B.
