McGill’s 土地规划 and 娱乐 Team Meets with Directors at Conference
MCGILL ATTENDS THE RECREATION RESOURCES SERVICE’S NORTH CAROLINA PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTORS CONFERENCE
Last week, members from McGill’s land planning and recreation 团队参加了 娱乐 Resources Service’s (RRS) 74th Annual North Carolina Parks and 娱乐 Directors Conference. RRS is North Carolina’s oldest technical assistance program for 公园 and recreation agencies, and they support land planning professionals by providing technical assistance, 应用研究, and continued education.
RRS’s mission is to “encourage excellence in recreation, 公园, and outdoor space design with a goal to foster public health and inclusivity by providing knowledge and technical expertise.”
McGill’s approach to land planning and recreation projects is in alignment with RRS’s vision, as our primary intention is to ensure that communities are given opportunities to thrive, and that every individual within that community feels welcome to enjoy the outcomes of our efforts.
AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH PARK DIRECTORS
As a relationship-driven organization, we welcome any opportunity to interact with key decision makers from municipalities across North Carolina.
McGill Park Planner 吉姆·福特 said, “I think the conference was a success because we got to see people face to face. I personally feel that our attendance is important at these conferences to connect with our 公园 directors and update them on how McGill’s land planning and recreation team is playing an active role in recreation planning across the state.”
MAKING CONNECTIONS
卢安布莱恩, a project consultant on McGill’s land planning and recreation team, said, “I think the RRS conference is the best conference for 公园 and recreation as it is only directors in attendance, and they can interact with us freely. We were able to make connections for several future projects and meet with current clients.”
Just as our staff enjoys making connections with directors at conferences, we also seek to design and construct spaces that foster community interaction. Whether it’s a greenway trail, 自行车道, 城市走廊, 或当地公园, the overall objectives are always the same — to create spaces that seamlessly blend with the natural environment and provide the individuals utilizing those spaces with opportunities to connect with one another.
CONFERENCE TAKEAWAYS
Our staff is returning from the conference with a renewed perspective on professional growth, 磨练技能, in-depth understanding of grant programs that support park development, and training on the newest technological innovations.
吉姆解释说, “Parks and greenways that are managed by different municipalities across the state provide a valuable resource for the improvement of public health and well-being. McGill has helped guide many communities in their quest to plan for and provide appropriate recreation facilities to meet the desires and needs of their patrons.”
