Commercial Members

Commercial Members with FRPA are companies or organizations who offer services or products to professionals, communities, and partners in the parks and recreation field. As a Commercial Member, you have access to the FRPA Econnect which is our own online community.  You can contact individual members of FRPA, you can post discussions, and you can actively engage in the work of the Association. Additionally, FRPA Commercial members receive early notice of opportunities to connect with the membership via sponsorship of events and the Annual FRPA Conference and Exhibit Show. 

We want you to be more than just a commercial member, we want you to be our partner in advancing the field of parks and recreation.  There are many ways you can make connections, maximize your investment, and yield great returns for your company.  Experience FRPA beyond the membership check by exploring...

Exclusive ADMail marketing opportunities.  ADMail is a way you can reach over 1,000 park and recreation professionals with your marketing message electronically.  ADMail allows us to distribute your marketing piece for you, while honoring our promise to our professional members to not release their email addresses.  Only one ADMail piece is distributed each week, and it is based on a reservation process.  For more information download the form.

Exhibit at the Trade Show held in conjunction with the FRPA Annual Conference.  The event is the largest state parks and recreation association conference in the Southeast United States, attracting over 800 professionals, and over 125 commercial companies.  This is a great opportunity to connect with future customers and begin to build those relationships.

FRPA offers a variety of workshops and training events , as well as golf outings and turf events throughout the year and around the State.  Each offers the opportunity for sponsorship and table top displays.  These events are an excellent way for you to make localized contacts with professionals with whom you may conduct business.  Smaller events than the Annual Conference, the workshops are held in smaller more intimate environments.  Information on sponsoring these events is available in October of each year, or you can always phone the Executive Office for information if needed for your budgeting and planning purposes.
