Join the Conversation: RPCA Schedules Resource Allocation and Cost Recovery Policy Sorting Workshops

The Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities (RPCA) will host a series of Resource Allocation and Cost Recovery Policy Sorting Workshops to help shape how resources are allocated to programs and services. In 2013, City Council adopted the RPCA Resource Allocation and Cost Recovery Policy that provides guidance in aligning community needs with available resources and ensuring equity for all user groups. For additional information on the City Council adopted Resource Allocation and Cost Recovery Policy, visit www.alexandriava.gov/12288.

At each workshop, the policy will be explained and categories of service will be sorted according to the amount of community benefit they provide. Spaces are limited, so please RSVP for one of the sessions listed. For your convenience, childcare and refreshments is available.
