A Message from Our Founder
Lakita Frazier, CEO, Women in Parks and Recreation
Hello,
Welcome! In 2018, while transitioning from Virginia to South Carolina, I wanted to stay connected to the many women that I had met throughout the years in our field. Recognizing the power of social media, I started the WiPaR Facebook page in July of 2019 to provide a positive platform and space for women in the field to collaborate, connect and support each other. What started as 83 women is now over 10,000 strong! I have enjoyed seeing through your eyes how recreation impacts your lives and the lives of citizens all around the world. We are inspired by each of you every day and truly look forward to seeing and hearing from all of you
The passion, energy, and interaction from the Facebook group members prompted us to expand WiPaR and provide additional programs and opportunities to sustain and support the women in field. In 2021, WiPaR incorporated as a nonprofit organization that is managed by a growing Board of Directors. Please continue to share on social media and use this webpage as an additional opportunity to learn, grow and network.
Love,
Lakita
