CONSERVANCY COMMONS

You are a Park Hero because of the essential role you play each day in making these incredible parks more available to all. You are invited to participate in the New Business and Revenue Group (NBRG), which explores ideas staff like you have about raising (or saving) money that might be practically applied to support the parks. For example, an NBRG “idea team” developed a $1 donation program with a bike rental business. Quarterly meeting dates, a NBRG “Hackathon,” and other information is coming soon. For questions, please contact Veda Banerjee or Ben Harwood. 

Thanks again for being a Park Hero!

In appreciation,

Nicolas Elsishans

Executive VP & COO
