In October 2003, the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies
(CAPRA) awarded national accreditation to the City of Miami Beach Parks & Recreation
Department. CAPRA accreditation is the premier professional certification for America's
Parks & Recreation organizations. We are among less than 3% of nationwide organizations
to have earned this prestigious mark of excellence. Our Department was recognized by
complying with over 150 standards deemed essential to the quality of services, the
professionalism of its operations and for the delivery of best practices.
Today, the Parks and Recreation Department is proud to announce that we are in the
process of our 5 year re-accreditation submission and would like to cordially invite you
attend the "Meet and Greet» being hosted to welcome the CAPRA evaluation team. The
event will be held at the Miami Beach Golf Club on July 14th, 2008 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.
See invitation attached.
We encourage your participation in support of the Parks & Recreation family as we
continuously strive to provide a higher level of customer service excellence!
