Maintenance Management School

Maintenance Management School (MMS)

November 15-19, 2021
UCLA Lake Arrowhead, CA
Hosted by CPRS HQ and MMS Regents

Every year, 150+ park and recreation professionals, representing over 60 public agencies, arrive in stunning Lake Arrowhead to participate in this five-year program. The school teaches a systematic approach for determining the resources needed to maintain a public facility, with lifelong professionals providing knowledge and opportunities not available anywhere else. Whether it's your 1st Year attending, 2nd Year learning with us or you are ready for Grad Year, there is space for you at MMS 2021.

We are planning to be "together again," in-person November 15-19, for this outstanding learning experience! CPRS is dedicated to keeping the health and safety of our community a priority. We will continue to monitor state and federal public health guidelines for meetings and events to ensure a safe learning experience as we plan for MMS 2021.
