CONGRESS WRAP-UP The Social Side of Congress @parks_and_rec: @NRPA_News I was reminded that conferences matter because nothing can replace face-to-face discussions about what we do. #NRPACongress @GL_sportsguy: If you can't get excited about what we do during Opening General, then you might want to change careers. We change lives. Period. #NRPACongress @juliegcox: Another day, another great idea! @2013 NRPA Congress #NRPACongress @InstituteatGG: Wonderful to end our Park Rx session at #NRPACongress and see this happening in the park! @Shannon_Keleher: @NRPA_news Thanks for an awesome conference. Can't wait until Charlotte next year! #NRPACongress 52 Parks & Recreation | D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 3 | W W W. N R PA .

Big Shout Out This year's Congress could not have happened without the Local Host Committee, led by Joe Turner, director of the Houston Parks and Recreation Department. In addition, more than 100 volunteers served as room hosts, greeters, bus leaders and more. NRPA gives a big THANK YOU to all those who helped make 2013's Congress a success. NRPA will be seeking volunteers for Charlotte, so keep an eye out for the announcement.
