What Does It Take to Raise the Bar in Parks and Rec? — Episode 27

In this episode, we sit down with Becky Dunlap, a passionate park
and recreation professional and advocate, to hear about how she
ended up in a career in the field she loves so much without even
realizing it.


Becky is a Certified Park and Recreation Professional (CPRP) and
a Project Consultant for GreenPlay, LLC, where she travels to
local parks and rec around the country to help them create a
vision for their communities. Becky is also the host of the
podcast Becky Talks Parks, which is her passion project and a
vessel to share resources, tips and tools with other park and
recreation professionals (hey, we love a good parks and rec
podcast).


We caught up with her last week at the 2018 NRPA Annual
Conference in Indianapolis to find out why she thinks parks and
rec is the perfect job for millennials, the need for the field to
continue to evolve in order to stay relevant, and why park and
recreation professionals should be so proud of what they do!
