Quote

Being a Recreation Aotearoa member has enabled professional development opportunities – gaining ARPro, governance, and networking with like-minded professionals. I’ve represented members on panels, reviewed award nominations, and participated in the Tuākana Teina mentorship programme. These have enhanced my connections with other members / member organisations – something I may not have had if I wasn't a member.
