Director Elected to Lead National Organization

In September, Director Mark L. McHenry was installed as President of the American Academy for Park and Recreation
Administration (AAPRA). He has been a member of the AAPRA since 2004 and is the first and only director from Kansas City
to lead this prestigious national organization.

AAPRA is a group of distinguished practitioners and educators who are leaders in the field of park and recreation. Members
must have served for at least 15 years in a high level of administration in a park and recreation agency or as a recognized
educator in parks and recreation administration; or they must manage a park and recreation department for an agency
with a population of more than 500,000.

The Academy is limited to 125 active members.
