Member Benefits for Industry Partners

a

The Industry Partner membership allows you to designate up to three staff members as part of your CPRS membership. Two of these individuals (if residing in California) are eligible to vote and hold office, while the third receives membership benefits for informational purposes only. Industry Partner Memberships are limited to 3 members and no additional memberships of any kind can be purchased.

Your members will have the opportunity to serve on District and Section boards, contributing to the direction and initiatives of the association. Additionally, they can vote in CPRS elections, influencing the selection of leaders who will shape the future of parks and recreation in California.

CPRS is made up of 15 districts and 5 regions that provide additional training, publications, and networking opportunities. Members can join as many sections as they wish; however, each section carries a separate membership fee.

Gain access to CPRS’s exclusive online member directory and community platform, where you can connect with other professionals, share resources, and participate in discussions relevant to parks and recreation.

Industry Partner members gain access to the California Parks & Recreation magazine and the P&R Weekly e-newsletter.
