Recreation Industry Awards of Excellence

On November 26th, 2009 the Recreation for Life Foundation, its allied partner, the Alberta Recreation and Parks Association (ARPA), and their many sponsors and supporters will present the Recreation Industry Awards of Excellence at the inaugural showcase event.

The Awards will recognize and celebrate individuals or working groups within Alberta’s corporate and business sector for their creativity, innovation, excellence and overall contribution in designing, building, and providing services to support recreation, parks and wellness in our province and its communities.

It is of the utmost importance that we are able to apprise the Alberta Recreation and Parks Association stakeholders about the Recreation Industry Awards of Excellence. We expect that they will be very interested in this awards program and may, in fact, be a major source of award nominations. We are hopeful that you will be able to assist us with the dissemination of information about our awards program and the showcase event itself.

Specifically, we are requesting that the ARPA membership, through its outreach communication channels, promote to their colleagues and affiliates the Recreation for Life Foundation’s Recreation Industry Awards of Excellence by:

• informing your colleagues and affiliates about the Recreation Industry Awards of Excellence through various communication channels;
• distributing sponsorship opportunities in support of this event;
• passing on further electronic communiqués provided by the Foundation; and
• posting a link to the Recreation Industry Awards of Excellence on your website to enable your associates and affiliated organizations to learn more about the awards program nomination and registration process.

We are expecting to launch this exciting awards program in June in hopes that the nomination deadline of August 28th will render multiple nominations in all of the six award categories.

Should you have any questions about the Recreation Industry Awards of Excellence program please contact the Recreation for Life Foundation office. Please visit the following links to view the Recreation Industry Awards of Excellence brochure, nominations form, and sponsorship opportunities. All of these materials may also be viewed on the Awards website at www.Awards.RecreationforLife.org.

We are currently seeking sponsorship support and would greatly appreciate any support to any one of the many sponsorship opportunities.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and expedient action to this request as we move forward in disseminating the necessary information.

Sincerely,

Randall Conrad,
Committee Chair
