Join LAPA for a frank and forward-thinking discussion on the future of public recreation in Los Angeles. The summit is a public forum for elected officials, policy makers and community residents on the state of the economy and possible cuts to the City’s Dept. of Recreation & Parks. Our goal is to provide:

• Clear information on the current economy and forecasts for recovery, and on the impact of reducing public recreation;
• A forum for residents and stakeholders to voice concerns, suggest solutions, and express the value of parks for their communities; and
• A role for the public in the City’s budget-making process.

Guest speakers will include:

• Wendy Greuel, Controller, City of Los Angeles
• Romel Pascual, Deputy Mayor of the Environment, City of Los Angeles
• Capt. Phil Tingirides, Police Department, City of Los Angeles
• Bob Schoonover, President, SEIU Local 721
• Mike Shull, Superintendent, City of L.A. Dept. of Recreation & Parks
• Al Cortés, Assistant Superintendent, Beyond the Bell Branch of LAUSD

Admission is free but seating is limited.
