2020 ANNUAL MEETING: Understanding Park Visitors of the 2020s

In-person meeting cancelled

Understanding Park Visitors of the 2020s was scheduled for March 16 and 17, 2020, to facilitate discussions among national park concessioners, the NPS, Congress and others regarding new and better ways to enhance the experiences of national park visitors while balancing visitation to national park units across the country. Sessions were to include conversations with Interior Department and NPS officials; discussions with key Congressional staff and other special guests, including leaders of NPCA, the National Park Foundation and more; and discussions of association goals and priorities.  The meeting was scheduled at the Intercontinental Washington at the Wharf, 801 Wharf St. SW Washington, D.C. 20024, 1-202-800-0844. Uncertainties about travel and assembly of nearly 100 persons during a time of concern about community transmittal of the Coronavirus caused the NPHA Board of Directors to cancel the meeting, shifting key discussions to a series of videocalls and the NPHA fall meeting.
