Emerging leaders seek opportunities to learn, explore, and take risks. Minnesota Recreation and Park Association is committed to preparing professionals with the leadership skills and knowledge base needed to sustain and better their organization and the people they serve.

The Emerging Recreation Leaders Institute 1 (ERLI) will meet on five days during the fall of 2021, October 21, 26, November 4, 9 and 18. ERLI is geared for the parks and recreation professional with less than eight years of experience. Seasoned professionals will serve as the faculty for each session. ERLI is limited to 40 participants.  

Much consideration was given to the program’s delivery format due to COVID-19 conditions and member survey responses. Therefore, the program is offered in a condensed format with both in-person and virtual sessions. The program has been designed so participants learn together as one group – either all in-person or all virtual – so they may build their professional peer network. A minimum of 20 participants is needed to run the program.
