Conference Summary The 2013 joint conference between Idaho Recreation & Parks Association, Montana Recreation and
Parks Association & the Idaho & Montana Chapters of the American Society of Landscape Architects was
held in Coeur d’Alene Idaho from September 15th to the 18th. The joint conference had approximately
200 delegates from Idaho, Montana and a few from other surrounding states. There were 26
sponsors/exhibitors total. To view all the exhibitors plus their contact information please refer to page 6.
Re-Create To Recreate was the theme for the joint conference. The conference had 4 tracks: Park
Resources, Recreation Programing, Landscape Architecture and Professional Development. Each track
had approximately 8 breakout sessions totaling 33 for the conference. There were 3 educational tours
that people could sign up for ranging from a bike tour to a public art walk. Multiple keynote speakers
attended the conference for the 3 general sessions, they included motivational speaker Matt Jones,
ASLA Executive Vice President Nancy Somerville and comedian Tim Clue.
The conference also hosted numerous socials for the delegates to have the opportunity to network. The
opening social was sponsored by North West Playground and it was held at Paddy’s Sports Bar & Grill.
Avista sponsored the next evening social at City Park in Coeur d’Alene where we had a baked potato bar
and then enjoyed a cruise on Lake Coeur d’Alene. The final social was sponsored by Hunter Industries
where we enjoyed a BBQ provided by Longhorn at Riverstone Park and a live auction to benefit the
student scholarships.
Overall the conference generated $12,612.94 in revenue that will be split by a percentage between the
Associations. The percentage was determined by participation numbers from each state. IRPA’s
percentage was 46.23%, MTRPA’s percentage was 26.63% & IMASLA’s percentage was 27.14% which
generated $5,830.96 for IRPA, $3,358.82 for MTRPA & $3,423.16 for IMASLA. Sponsors and exhibitors
helped keep the registration cost down to $182 for members or delegates that wanted to join their
respected association. See Budget on page 12 for more details.
