NATIONAL SCHOOL OF RECREATIONAL SPORTS MANAGEMENT (NSRSM) |
 The
2004 National School of Recreational Sports Management (NSRSM)
offers its Level I course in Indianapolis, Indiana on June 7-10,
2004. Experienced recreational faculty members have developed
a creative program designed for emerging recreational sports
administrators with one-to-five years of experience.
With decades
of collective experience, this top-notch faculty will share
its experiences and perspectives in recreational sports.
“One
reason that I like working with the NSRSM as a faculty member
is because my experience as a participant was so valuable
for me. No matter what level you attend, it’s an enjoyable
way to expand one’s network while gaining greater insight
into professional issues,” says Faculty Chair Dr. Sarah
Hardin, CRSS, assistant professor at South East Missouri State
University (Cape Girardeau).
Through
the educational sessions and collaboration with peers and
faculty, participants obtain, discuss and refine the professional
skills necessary for success. The session topics are uniquely
tailored to complement those with entry-level experience and
include: maximizing staff performance, conflict resolution,
budgeting, promotion, work styles, team exercises, staff development,
and assessment, all of which can be implemented into your
own programs.
The NSRSM Level I course is not offered again until the spring
of 2006, and is limited to the first 48 paid registrants.
