This Peer Conversation is for leaders and staff at park agencies in mid-sized and small cities (population under 250,000). Join with peers from around the nation to share challenges and opportunities, provide advice and support, and get to know each other better as a possible professional network.  Discussion leaders from Alexandria, VA; Mobile, AL and Richmond, VA will work with attendees to set the agenda.

Note: This Peer Conversation is a closed session for public agency leaders and staff at cities with less than 250,000 population and is not available to general conference participants. If you represent a public agency serving a population of this size, please add your name to the waitlist. Conference organizers will regularly review the waitlist and notify those who are moved into the session or are ineligible to attend so they can register for an alternative.
