Join the Visioning Task Force
The Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD) is recruiting for a Visioning Task Force. Applications are being accepted now through April 21.
THPRD needs a community-supported vision for the future of the District to influence programming, funding, and strategic planning. We are looking for diverse, multicultural, and energetic community liaisons to help get us there.
Community visioning is an opportunity for THPRD to listen to community members and work together to find better ways to serve. THPRD was formed more than 60 years ago, by people who had a vision for a better way to provide park services. Now it’s time to set the course for what the next 60 years will bring.
Task Force Members will:
• Commitment – Serve from May 2019 through May 2020
• Meetings – Attend a monthly two-hour meeting, on the first Thursday of the month starting June 6.
• Help Gather Community Input – Agree to volunteer at 10 engagement events, such as a community event like a picnic or market or speaking with school or organizational groups.
• Oversee the Public Input Process – Advise on engagement strategies to make better connections with people.
• Advise THPRD Leaders - Make recommendations to the THPRD Board of Directors on the Visioning Plan.
THPRD recognizes it will take time, energy, and commitment to serve as a voluntary member on the Visioning Task Force. We are offering members THPRD passes, in recognition of their contribution to this effort.
