It is time for the park and recreation profession to distinguish itself as a chief caretaker and celebrant of this planet’s wondrous web of life.

It is our obligation, our duty, to do everything in our power to create a more peaceful world, a more connected world, a more caring world, in our lifetime.

What better use to make of our work? What better use to make of our leisure? What better use to make of our freedom?

Help make our profession one that brings out the best in people, one that cultivates respect and compassion for all life, one that inspires each of us to ponder deeply what it means to be fully human.

Think big thoughts. Help make the park and recreation profession one that can lead the way.
