Additionally, FRPA Commercial members receive early notice of opportunities to connect with the membership via sponsorship of events and the Annual FRPA Conference and Exhibit Show. 

We want you to be more than just a commercial member, we want you to be our partner in advancing the field of parks and recreation.  There are many ways you can make connections, maximize your investment, and yield great returns for your company.  Experience FRPA beyond the membership check by exploring...

Exhibit Hall Picture
Exhibit at the Trade Show held in conjunction with the FRPA Annual Conference.  The event is the largest state parks and recreation association conference in the Southeast United States, attracting 1,000 professionals, and over 150 commercial companies.  This is a great opportunity to connect with future customers and begin to build those relationships.

FRPA offers a variety of workshops and training events , as well as golf outings and turf events throughout the year and around the State.  Each offers the opportunity for sponsorship and table top displays.  These events are an excellent way for you to make localized contacts with professionals with whom you may conduct business.  Smaller events than the Annual Conference, the workshops are held in smaller more intimate environments.  Information on sponsoring these events is available in October of each year, or you can always phone the Executive Office for information if needed for your budgeting and planning purposes.
