A Guide to Attending the MRPA Virtual Conference
During this challenging time, it has become more critical than ever to continue to stay connected to our profession and to plan for continued professional growth and development. In our continuing mission to serve our members, MRPA is pleased to offer our 2021 annual conference as a virtual event! The MRPA conference planning committee has created an all-star series of presenters for this event.
Q. What is the cost for the virtual conference? The individual registration fee is $50 and the agency fee for 5 or more employees from the same department is $200. Your registration fee allows you to attend a session for each time slot each day.
Q: How do I find out about the conference schedule? All of the conference session details and the registration link can be found on the MRPA web site: www.merpa.org
Q: Once I am registered, how do I attend sessions? The conference sessions will be hosted on
ZOOM. On Friday, March 12th, everyone who has registered for the conference will be sent an email with an attached document that will include the individual session ZOOM links. You may join any session on any day of the conference using these links.
Q. Can I register one person in my department and share the zoom links with other employees? The answer is NO. We hope that you will support MRPA and register all employees who want to attend.
Q. Can I register one person in my department and then have all of my staff together to watch the session? The answer is NO. We hope that you will support MRPA and register all employees who want to attend.
Q: Can I view sessions after the conference? All sessions will be recorded and will be made available on the MRPA website for members who register and pay for the conference. This will allow you an opportunity to view every session of the conference. Access to the recorded sessions will be done via a member passcode that will be distributed following the conference.
Q. Is there an awards ceremony? We are excited to be hosting our annual award ceremony live via ZOOM. We hope that you will make time to fit the award ceremony into your schedule on Monday, March 15 at 6:30 pm and join us in recognizing the well-deserved winners.
Q. Are CEU’s available? Yes, each of the professional development sessions will have .1 CEU’s available. Information will be mailed to attendees prior to conference with directions on how to get the CEU’s. CEU’s are available ONLY for sessions that you attend on the original date. You may not receive CEU’s for recorded sessions.
Q. Who can attend the MRPA business meeting? All MRPA members are welcome to attend the business meeting. It’s easy this year for you to attend from the comfort of your office or home. This is a great opportunity to learn about MRPA, to elect new board members, to hear from committee chairs, and vote on the MRPA budget.
JOIN US! We will miss the opportunity to meet in person at the Samoset. The energy that exists during conference is very difficult to emulate virtually. But we know this conference will be a valuable resource to parks and recreation professionals in Maine as we move forward with reopening programs. We will continue to find solutions to connect, motivate, and reinvent.
