The Special Districts Forums have been getting bigger and better. The exchange of ideas has proven of great value and networking has been possible also as a result of the contacts made.

There are obvious advantages to Special Districts, since they can be bolder than can departments of a city or county and can focus full attention on fulfilling the public needs, as well as moving into the community to gain private funding support.

There is importance in keeping the Special District Forums going, along with the meetings at the NRPA Congress.
