From Newcomer to Seasoned Professional: Navigating the NRPA Annual Conference — Episode 162

We are getting very excited to travel to Atlanta (in just one week!) to connect with thousands of our closest park and recreation friends at the 2024 NRPA Annual Conference . And on today's episode, we're talking with someone who is local to the Atlanta area and might have some insider tips if you'll be joining us next week. Jamiah Flagg, CPRP, is the operations coordinator at Douglasville Parks and Recreation in Georgia, and after sharing a blog post with us about her 2023 conference experience, we knew we wanted to chat with her further since this year's conference is right in her backyard. We discussed what receiving NRPA's Diversity Scholarship in 2023 meant to her, how her conference experience motivated her to become a Certified Park and Recreation Professional, and the boost in confidence she feels with another year of experience under her belt. Tune in below to learn more about Jamiah, her conference tips and more. You'll also learn: What inspired Jamiah to get into the field of parks and recreation What Jamiah's 2023 NRPA Annual Conference experience meant to her What she's looking forward to at the 2024 NRPA Annual Conference Tips for conference attendees and recommendations for first-time Atlanta visitors Why Jamiah feels like parks and recreation is where she belongs And much more!
