Altruism Institute

The Altruism Institute is a once in a lifetime experience for park & recreation professionals! The program is a biennial 4-day program that focuses on being strategic, smart and courageous in today's important challenges and issues.
The next Institute will happen in 2024. Check back for more information.
ABOUT
Since 2016, the biennial Altruism Institute has been a premiere
parks and recreation training program. With over 15 hours of educational content led by a team of experts in the public parks
and recreation field, the Altruism Institute will inspire, provoke,
and reinvigorate participants of our responsibility for the decisions
we make and the impact our profession has for our communities.
The host location of Boulder, Colorado provides inspiration as
we gather in one of the most beautiful places in the country, the foothills of the Rocky Mountains! Participants will have
opportunities to enjoy all that Boulder has to offer, both passively
and through structured activities as part of the program.

ABOUT
As park and recreation professionals, we are privileged to be
the stewards of taxpayer dollars. Each and every day we get to
spend their money. What a responsibility! We hold in our hands
the power to impact communities by how we manage these
resources. How we spend, how we generate revenues, and how
we work to create a financially sustainable future for our
organizations and for the field of parks and recreation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the Directors Summit?
Following Directors School 2022, many attendees expressed an interest in connecting throughout the year. After more discussion, an idea was
suggested that Directors School graduates host a mid-year gathering, now
called the Directors Summit. 2023 was hosted by DeSoto Parks and
Recreation in conjunction with the Texas Recreation and Park State
Conference, with the hope that other agencies will volunteer to host for
future years.
Are there details for the 2024 Summit?
At this time, the only confirmed detail for the 2024 Directors Summit is
that it will be hosted by the City of Memphis, TN. Once more details are confirmed, they will be added here.
What can I expect from the Summit?
The primary goal of the Directors Summit is networking. Current Directors
School attendees, as well as past graduates, will engage in both small and
large group discussions about current issues facing parks and recreation. Questions will also be posed throughout the workshop to invite one-on-one discussion and build future virtual forum topics.
Is the Summit CEU eligible?
At this time the Summit is not CEU eligible, as the primary focus is
networking with other parks and recreation leaders from across the country; however, we are working to see if a portion of the workshop may be eligible.
Is there a cost to attend the Summit?
Thanks to our generous sponsors, the Summit is available for the low cost
of $100 per attendee. Travel and meals not provided during the program are
the attendees responsibility.
Is there a cost to attend the Summit?
If you register for the event and are unable to attend, please let us know as
soon as possible. Your registration fee will be refunded minus processing fees. The event is capped at 60 attendees.
