Navigating Conflict in Parks and Recreation: Strategies for Resolving Disputes and Building Understanding
Conflict is an inevitable part of the Parks and Recreation profession, especially in today’s complex social climate. This interactive discussion will explore real-world examples and current societal challenges that lead to conflicts with patrons, staff, elected officials, and other stakeholders. Attendees will explore effective strategies to navigate these conflicts while maintaining positive relationships; and, in some cases turn a negative situation into a positive one. Additionally, participants will have the chance to share their own experiences both before and during the program, fostering a relatable and immersive experience. Join us for an engaging workshop that equips you with practical tools for managing conflict through intentional communication and service practices within your organization.
Speaker: Tom Venniro, CPRP; Parks and Recreation Director, Hilton-Parma Parks and Recreation
