The
Edith Upchurch Innovative Programming Forum was established by NRPA
in 1974 as a venue to provide educational opportunities specifically
intended for recreation programmers. With agency budgets being cut
and programmers being asked to do more with less, this conference
offers direct service providers with the best and most innovative
recreation programs and ideas in our profession. In 2009, Clemson
University assumed responsibility for coordinating the Forum and
will conduct its first session in mid-February 2010.
