We need you to play an active role in NPHA’s 2021 annual meeting on July 26 and 27, 2021.

National parks, park visitors and the nation’s park concessioners will be the focus of key conversations between March 18 and 20, 2019, in the Nation’s Capital. Change is happening – changes that can open doors to new opportunities for park visitors or limit interest and excitement about our parks. These changes can also enhance or undermine the long-standing, trusted role of park concessioners in supporting great experiences in great places for generations of Americans and visitors from beyond our borders.

Concessioners and National Parks: New Initiatives and New Opportunities will allow national park concessioners, the NPS and others to discuss new and better ways to work with the Administration and the Congress to enhance the experiences of national park visitors while building visitation to national park units across the country.

The annual meeting of the National Park Hospitality Association was opened at 8 AM by Chairman Terry MacRae. All members present identified themselves and Secretary Pam Pitts notified the Chairman that a quorum of members was present.

Inviting and Hosting National Park Visitors: Post- Centennial Efforts with a New Administration will allow national park concessioners, the NPS and others to assess likely visitor levels and expectations following major communications efforts associated with the NPS Centennial as well as review Congressional direction to the agency through appropriations and authorizing legislation.

Concessioners in National Parks in 2016 and Beyond allowed national park concessioners, the NPS and others to agree on strategies to make 2016 successful in attracting and serving well all park visitors.

NPHA will combine its own fall meeting with a session co-hosted with other leading national park proponents in the tradition of the America's Summit on National Parks and Grand Thoughts at the Grand Canyon. NPHA's own meeting on Sunday and Wednesday will focus on actions which would revise and improve the national park concessions program and better serve park visitors, both Americans and those from other nations.
