“The 110% Financial Sustainability Certification Program provides a compelling framework for rethinking what Parks & Rec Departments should offer and why and where to best apply subsidy funds. Jamie efficiently leads participants through a clear methodology for how to apply these concepts to their unique communities. Her personable style and delivery makes this otherwise daunting topic very manageable and attainable. Simply put, this is the best workshop for our profession, to ensure that we can all continue to deliver robust parks and recreation services long into the future.”
