Rendezvous presentations are always meaningful, and this year’s presenters will engage important topics that are relevant for NPS employees in every division. We want you to help us let NPS employees know about the event (#RR43.0, #RangerRendezvous) and donate if you can help early career ANPR members attend.

Earlier this summer, ANPR’s Board of Directors made the decision to cancel the in-person Ranger Rendezvous 43.  This marks the first time since 1999 that the event will not be held in-person. “While we’re disappointed that we won’t be able to meet in one place with our friends from across the National Park Service, we’re glad this latest ‘unprecedented message’ of 2020 offers a new opportunity for all of our members,” ANPR President, Paul Anderson, said.

ANPR is concurrently planning Ranger Rendezvous 44 which is scheduled for October 2021 in Jacksonville, Florida.  Before changes necessitated by COVID-19, ANPR had planned to host this year’s Rendezvous in Jacksonville.

I have been a member of many review teams on workplace issues, incidents small and large and project teams that wanted an after action review. In almost every instance the top two issues/strengths were communications and trust.

Using both our Debit and Credit Card allows members to rack up rewards points quickly, and you might even be able to redeem something you can add to a loved one’s stocking at the end of the year!
