As we enter 2021, COVID-19 committees, park and recreation programmers, risk managers, and legal and IT staff members will be evaluating where they are and, more importantly, where they go from here. Many NRPA members have implemented new processes, enabling them to run fall and winter programs safely but are constantly tweaking them to align with the new reality. They will be evaluating these program safety measures for spring/summer 2021 to ensure a safe and cost-effective return to regular programming.

Risk Mitigation — Software Is a Viable Option

Software expenditure may seem counter-intuitive while budgets are being cut, but it can be the most effective way to reduce risk and save on administrative costs.

Program Safety Is a Priority

ePACT has developed a toolkit that streamlines the collection of health and emergency information, enabling you to concentrate on delivering great programs.

With vaccines emerging, ePACT’s vaccination module is ready to help streamline this process as well.
