I had the honor of presenting at the 2023 mParks Conference and Trade Show in Lansing. I shared my story of earning the rank of Eagle Scout to hundreds of participants.
The conference this year had over 600 participants, 90 educational sessions, 2 keynote speakers, and 112 vendors for their trade show.
It was an amazing turn out and an experience I would not trade for the world. I made so many connections and really made a name for myself in the recreation crowd.
