Our Core Values: Being Bold and Courageous.(PERSPECTIVES: A MESSAGE FROM NRPA'S LEADERS)

[...]thanks in large part to your advocacy, Congress increased funding in the fiscal year 2018 spending bill for programs that are vital to the industry, including the Land and Water Conservation Fund State Assistance Program and Community Development Block Grants. Last October, in partnership with the Trust for Public Land and the Urban Land Institute, we helped launch the 10-Minute Walk campaign, which aims to ensure all Americans live within a 10-minute walk (or half-mile) of a high-quality park or green space and have already had nearly 200 mayors sign on to this initiative. Whether it was creating spaces for courageous conversations, providing training and technical assistance or working to develop a racial equity plan, my time in each place allowed me to discover so many people in our field who felt empowered to be bold and courageous with me.
