WRPA INCENTIVE PROGRAM

The Mission of the Wyoming Incentive Program (WIP) is to increase membership participation in all aspects of the WRPA by providing an incentive plan that will reward members for their professional efforts and recognize members for years of service, involvement, and contributions to the WRPA.  The plan will encourage current WRPA members to continue their individual career growth and dedication to the field of Recreation and Parks.

The WIP will recognize WRPA members who annually achieve these goals and accomplishments:

     - Recruiting new professional and commercial members to the Association

     - Joining the WRPA and/or renewing their annual membership

     - Serving on the WRPA Board

     - Serving on WRPA committees

     - Participating in WRPA Programs and Events

     - Reading job-related books (must submit a book review for website article)

     - Attending job-related conferences/training (WRPA and non-WRPA)

     - Speaking/Presenting/Facilitating at job-related conferences/trainings (WRPA and non-WRPA).

     - Participating in other job-related efforts

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Participation or recognition in any of the above activities will earn WRPA members WIP points on an annual basis.  Activities are reported from the Annual Conference through the next Annual Conference. Participants will receive one raffle ticket for every 5 WIP points and the raffle tickets will be entered into the WIP Drawing to be held at the WRPA Annual Conference. A member must have earned at least 5 WIP points in that given year to be entered in the drawing.  In addition, you must attend the WRPA Annual Conference which is held in September/October.  At the conference, fill out your Incentive Form, turn it into the WRPA table in the Exhibitor Hall, pick a prize from the “WRPA Treasurer Chest”, sign your raffle tickets and enter them into the drawing box.

WRPA members are responsible for tracking their own WIP point activities and submitting them on the WIP Tracking Form by the last day of the Annual Conference or the announced day at the Annual Conference.  The WIP Committee will review your form and may grant WIP points for any miscellaneous activities you list for consideration.  See the Tracking form for details.

WHAT'S THE INCENTIVE... AKA THE PRIZE?

Each year there will be FIVE (5) winners drawn:

Grand Prize = $500 Cash

2nd Prize  = $100 Cash

3rd Prize = $75 Cash

4th & 5th Prize  = $50 Cash each

Prizes will be funded from Silent Auction proceeds and other revenues. The drawing for the Incentive Prizes will be held at the end of the last session of the conference and winners MUST be present to win. One prize per person. Obviously the more WIP Points you earn in the year, the greater your chance of winning the cash prizes, but everyone entered has a chance! Participants may only be drawn ONE team each year even if they have multiple tickets in the drawing.
