Your learning process and the desire to become a better Commissioner should never cease. You should be an active contributor to the operations of your district by being well informed as to your duties and the various programs available for improving parks and recreation in the community.

Participate and understand what the Association is, its functions, and future goals and at the same time get more out of the dues that your district pays. Plan now to attend one of the May Drive-in Seminars.

A special part of the program has been designed specifically for the newly elected commissioner. Encourage them to attend and receive instructions in their basic duties and powers.

Life goes on, but are you, your board and district, keeping pace with the ever changing patterns in the park and recreation field? Is your board adopting policies and programs that meet the demands of community residents at the least cost? Only you have the answer.
