Krista VanderMolenSerendipity is my reality! Three short years ago the position I held as Parks and Recreation Director, for a small rural town in Arizona was split in two as a necessary cost-saving measure; shortly thereafter, my position with it. I was simultaneously volunteering my expertise in event planning for the annual Arizona Parks and Recreation Association Conference and Expo, which gave way to a job offer three days later, as a part-time coordinator for the Association. Since one of my core beliefs is "opportunity though loss" I took the 45k pay-cut knowing it would lead to something more meaningful.
Two years ago, I became the Deputy Director for the Association, which has provided not only the meaning, it has given way to a full-circle opportunity to practice another core belief to, "educate and empower". I am able to pour two decades of experience as a secondary educator and administrator into the expansion and diversification of support and access to industry education through best-practice programs and resources taught by engaging, result-driven facilitators.
During the 2020 pandemic shut-down and subsequent industry job losses, we still felt we had to continue supporting the educational needs of our members. As a result, we converted a majority of our paid programming to no cost and for the first time, permitted access to anyone, member or not. Engagement hit an all-time high and for the first time, we saw authentic camaraderie happen in a virtual realm.
Your support through sponsorship for the 2021 APRA Conference and Expo will greatly help us to continue supporting the professional growth of the essential, front-line workers devoted to improving the quality of life in communities across Arizona.
