FRPA Regions

Southwest Region
The Southwest Region of FRPA is comprised of Manatee, Sarasota, Hendry, Hardee, Charlotte, Collier, Highlands, Glades, DeSoto, and Lee Counties.

As your SW Region Director, I am extremely excited and proud to be part of this great team of parks and recreation professionals. Our association has made some enormous progress during our recent transition period and I think we should all be pleased with the accomplishments we have achieved over the past year.

As we continue on our upward trend I will work diligently to meet our association's goals and each of members objectives. It's going to be another great year...get involved it's your association!
