The Central Park Conservancy Institute for Urban Parks and the City University of New York School of Professional Studies (CUNY SPS) are pleased to announce the Urban Park Executive Leadership Program.

The program will be held in New York City, close to Central Park, from Monday, March 19 to Friday, March 23, 2018. 

The one-time, introductory program registration fee for this pilot session is $1750, per person, excluding travel and lodging. Upon acceptance, you will receive information about suggested hotel accommodations and optional evening activities.

Drawing on its expertise in urban park management, the Central Park Conservancy Institute for Urban Parks, in partnership with CUNY SPS, has developed a five-day program that will provide participants with skills and information that enhance their ability to successfully manage an urban park as part of a public-private park partnership.

The program is currently anticipated to consist of four days of classroom activity plus a one-day practicum, during which the participants can interact with and learn directly from Conservancy staff.

To learn more about this exciting opportunity, please register and attend one of our upcoming informational webinars on Monday, December 18 at 12:00 pm EST, or Monday, January 8 at 12:00 pm EST.
