The New York State Recreation and Park Society celebrated a successful 77th Annual Conference and Expo April 2-4 in Rochester, NY.
This 3 day event was enjoyed by approximately 350 attendees, speakers and exhibitors. Highlights included Keynote Speaker Neelay Bhatt's opening address, wonderful education sessions and fun offsite and evening socials.
Although the Hyatt Regency was under renovation, all program participants were very understanding and overall the conference was well received and a terrific success!
All conference photos including Annual Award photos will soon be available on nysrps.org. Please stay tuned for a full account of the conference in our summer issue of The Voice. Thank you to all sponsors and exhibitors who made the conference a success-see below.

Park Advocacy Day Attended By NYSRPS
Parks & Trails NY partnered with the Open Space Institute to provide a well-organized and fruitful day of legislative advocacy in Albany on March 13th.
In attendance from NYSRPS were Board President Jeff Myers, President Elect Eric Bacon, Executive Director, Lisa Morahan, Communications Director Beth DellaRocco and longtime advocate Richard Rose.
Legislators were overwhelmingly receptive to our groups, in part due to the annual contact that advocacy days provide.
