Connecticut Recreation and Parks Association

Committees

CRPA depends on its members to help support the many events that CRPA provides. Serving of a committee is restricted to CRPA members, although attending and participating in some events non members may attend for a higher fee.

Current or new members of CRPA, have the opportunity to work with a number of different committees, depending on your interests. Committee chairs urge you to review and choose to get active with one of the committees you see here. It's a great way to expand your professional network, learn more about your own association and even have some fun while you meet great people. And remember, an association is as good as the members make it! See below for a listing of CRPA committees.
