Dear Members,

As we prepare our communities for the busy season, I want to take a moment to thank you for your hard work and dedication. Parks are an essential part of our communities—places where families gather to celebrate, teams come together to play, and we all find space to enjoy the outdoors. Without your efforts, these vital spaces wouldn’t be the same. Our industry is essential, and so are you.

I’m looking forward to seeing many of you at this year’s conference in San Diego. Beyond the breathtaking views, the board has put together an outstanding program, and I know it will be an enriching experience for all.

Serving as President has been an incredible experience. I have learned so much from my colleagues on the board and from each of you, whom I have had the pleasure of meeting over the years. Thank you for your commitment and passion—I am proud to be part of such a dedicated organization.

See you soon!

Best,

Brian Danzl

Cordova Recreation and Park District

President, CARPD
