1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois House of | ||||||
3 | Representatives are pleased to congratulate the Naperville | ||||||
4 | Park District on being named a nationally-accredited agency by | ||||||
5 | the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation | ||||||
6 | Agencies (CAPRA) on November 2, 2012; and
| ||||||
7 | WHEREAS, The Naperville Park District became a | ||||||
8 | nationally-accredited agency during the National Recreation | ||||||
9 | and Park Association 2011 Congress in Atlanta, Georgia; and
| ||||||
10 | WHEREAS, CAPRA accreditation is the only national | ||||||
11 | accreditation for park and recreation agencies, and is a | ||||||
12 | measure of an agency's overall quality of operation, | ||||||
13 | management, and service to the community; national | ||||||
14 | accreditation through CAPRA is an extensive multi-year | ||||||
15 | process, which includes the completion of an application and | ||||||
16 | detailed self-assessment report, a site visit by a committee of | ||||||
17 | experienced park and recreation professionals, and a final | ||||||
18 | assessment completed by the agency and the Commission; | ||||||
19 | accreditation requires agencies to respond to 144 standards | ||||||
20 | representing elements of effective and efficient park and | ||||||
21 | recreation operations; to become accredited, agencies must | ||||||
22 | fully meet 36 standards deemed fundamental to a quality agency | ||||||
23 | and at least 92 of the remaining standards; and
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | WHEREAS, The Naperville Park District is only the second | ||||||
2 | Illinois park district to attain this standard of recognition; | ||||||
3 | the District is the 104th agency in the United States to have | ||||||
4 | achieved CAPRA accreditation, out of 10,000 parks and | ||||||
5 | recreation organizations nationwide; and
| ||||||
6 | WHEREAS, The administration and employees of the | ||||||
7 | Naperville Park District serve as models of hard work, | ||||||
8 | integrity, and dedication for the people of the State of | ||||||
9 | Illinois; therefore, be it
| ||||||
10 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE | ||||||
11 | NINETY-SEVENTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | ||||||
12 | we congratulate the Naperville Park District on the occasion of | ||||||
13 | becoming a nationally-accredited agency and wish the | ||||||
14 | District's administration and employees continued success and | ||||||
15 | happiness in the future; and be it further
| ||||||
16 | RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be | ||||||
17 | presented to the Naperville Park District as a symbol of our | ||||||
18 | esteem and respect.
