The first attempt to form a statewide association dedicated to bringing park and recreation professionals together for purposes of information sharing and education was in 1944. World War II was winding down on two fronts. Back home, a conference of Illinois recreation workers was convened at the University of Illinois for the purpose of resurrecting a group dedicated to park and recreation management. Though only 35 people attended, groundwork was established for the Illinois Recreation Association (IRA). Organizers vowed to tackle the weighty issues of taxes and legal matters plus post-war planning at a state conference scheduled for the following year. While the group took shape, individuals added their expertise. Russell Perry, former director of recreation for the Aurora Park District, developed IRA's first constitution and helped the group establish its sliding membership fee scale. Small districts paid as little as $2 per year to affiliate while larger ones were assessed up to $25 per annum. In 1946, a determination was made to revise membership fees, assessing individuals rather than agencies. Professionals paid $1 to join, while agencies paid $5. As most organizations are aware, communication drives progress, so Howard Copp, former Wilmette Superintendent of Recreation, edited the association's first newsletter in 1947. Editorial content included everything from youth programming
to the recreational use of school facilities and included pertinent legislative concerns. A year later, IRA chose to affiliate with the American Recreation Society. Perhaps the most dynamic growth period of Illinois' IRNARS came during the 1950s, when such issues as sports for women, regional diversity and professional certification appeared on agendas. This diversification led to the establishment of a division of IRA dedicated to hospital professionals, as well as the group's first invitation to meet with the Illinois Association of Park Districts in Joliet. The 1960s and 1970s were witness to the organization's expansion, which included yet another name change to IPRS (Illinois Parks and Recreation Society), a growth spurt in committee activity (30 standing committees existed in 1965), the organization's first joint meeting in St. Louis with IAPD, and the launch of Illinois Parks & Recreation, the magazine currently serving both associations. In 1976, a final name change recommendation made at Joliet resulted in the one we currently use: the Illinois Park & Recreation Association (IPRA). The group's 30 committees became seven special interest groups representing various career tracks and areas of expertise. They are the Administration and Finance, Communications and Marketing, Diversity, Facility Management, Park and Natural Resource Management, Recreation, and Therapeutic Recreation.
As the 1990s dawned, more than 1,700 parks and recreation professionals filled the IPRA roster. That figure has jumped to nearly 3,000 members who are park, recreation and conservation professionals, as well as associates, citizens and students who are committed to serving a changing society as advocates for the lifetime benefits of parks, recreation and conservation. It's a history filled with milestones and a mission that has sustained itself through more than 75 years of growth and expansion: to be an advocate in providing quality park, recreation and conservation education, resources and services to professionals and citizens throughout the state of Illinois. As we continue to do what we do best - representing our members to the best of our collective abilities IPRA can count among its landmarks a number of unforgettable moments. But in the end, our success is all about the relationships we've struck with every person who has signed on to avail themselves of our services. We're proudest of the friends we've made, the careers we’ve helped grow and the personal triumphs we've witnessed. Saying thank you for your loyalty, trust and friendship seems an understatement, so allow us to show our gratitude in the future by gifting you with a stronger, more professional association - one you'll be proud to say you belong to.
