TGIF D1!! It's been so wonderful to see and learn so much more about my fellow CPRS D1 members through CPRS' HQ June Challenge! I thought to follow up this thread to share a bit more about myself as well as promote two new, up and coming events your D1 Board are bringing to YOU!
I bit more about me, my name is Risa De Ferrari, I am your current CPRS District 1 President and have been a part of the D1 Board for the past three years. I've worked in Recreation for over 10 years and held positions as a Recreation Supervisor, Business Manager, and most recently Deputy Director for Mill Valley Recreation! I cherish the people in CPRS and Recreation - you are some of the most hard working, tireless, and passionate people I've come across through my professional career.
Before Recreation, I worked in State government, the private sector, and the non-profit sector. I received my undergraduate in Spanish and International Relations and dabbled with joining the Peace Corps and/or Diplomatic Core after college. I also have my Master's in Sustainable Business.
Recently, I accepted an opportunity to work in the City of Mill Valley City Manager's Office as a City Clerk. I'm very excited about this opportunity and it was a clear yes, as it will show me the greater innerworkings of our City as a whole as well as the business of all Departments, City Manager, and our Council. And, do not despair!! My City Manager is A-OKAY with me continuing my CPRS Recreation pursuits SO... I'm not going anywhere and the membership and Board remains intact and ready to live another day and year ahead!
Fun fact about me! I'm in hot pursuit of doggie agility with my two pups (Tango and Zoe!) who are Border Collies we adopted. Tango and I have reached intermediate agility and are currently practicing full blown circuits! It's a total blast, both humans and doggies are having a blast, and it's a new found passion for competition that I never thought I would pursue! But here we are. :)
As for the District 1 Events - Please see the attached full flyers!! Also, you can register for the event on our District 1 Events Page.
Mighty Ones - Wishing you all a FANTASTIC WEEKEND ahead and looking forward to connecting with each and every one of you in-person over the coming year!!
Recreationally Yours!!
Risa

Calling all you MIGHTY ONES!!! CPRS is challenging all of our members to take a moment to introduce yourself!
The challenge details are: We encourage every member of your District or Section to introduce themselves to the community. Ideally, we'd love for members to share a bit about themselves, but even a simple "Hi" will count.
This is our dedicated thread to gather all the introductions - so please reply here so we can get points!
Thanks for engaging with us here and let's GOOOAAAAALLLL D1 MIGHTY ONES!!!!!
