WHAT is the Financial Sustainability Certification Program?

The Financial Sustainability Certification Program is designed to enhance and accelerate career growth for park and recreation professionals. This intensive program will address complex issues, including the pressing need to practice financial discipline and acknowledge the responsibility park and recreation professionals have as stewards of taxpayer dollars.

This next generation of the Master Class in Financial Sustainability series in which more than 1000 park and recreation professionals participated between 2019-2022 (with virtual classes in 2020-2022 due to COVID), this robust new program will combine targeted and relevant content, and an interactive learning environment.

All content has been developed by 110% Inc. and offered in small bites via many professional development programs at state, regional, national, and international conferences and schools. Content elements have also been used as part of the Financial Management course in Indiana University’s School of Public Health for master’s level students in the Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Studies Program.

Approximately 15 hours of course content will be provided to participating professionals affording them the opportunity to acquire 1.5 continuing education units (CEUs).
