Getting to Inclusion

The Playbook column in the March 2008 issue of Parks & Recreation magazine, written by Lonny Zimmerman, manager of the Adaptive Recreation Division for the city of Las Vegas Department of Leisure Services, and John McGovern, executive director of the Northern Suburban Special Recreation Association in Northbrook, Ill., focused on inclusion training for park and recreation staff. In that article, “Getting to Inclusion,” Zimmerman and McGovern, two well-respected experts on the topic, suggest that before training your staff on the importance of inclusion, you need to first determine where your agency stands on the subject.
