Park District\, will share best practices for professionals with regard to developing an all-inclusive workplace and public spaces. He’ll also present on policy development\, staff training and facility assessment.

Park District\, a northwest suburb of Chicago serving approximately 83\,000 residents. Clark has been in the Illinois park and recreation industry for the past 28 years.

The Palatine Park District and High School District were one of the first communities to have a federal court case considered regarding transgender individuals’ access to public locker rooms and other privacy-type of facilities. Clark has conducted and been involved with extensive research on this topic and developed policies\, best practices\, staff trainings and facility accommodations to ensure equal and appropriate access to public facilities for all regardless of gender identity. \nSophie Michaels is an openly transgender woman (MTF – male to female)\, who has been living full-time for many years now.

She also shares insight and advice for a better understanding of the transgender population. Her concern is the access to public facilities for transgender individuals\, patrons and employees alike. In 2020\, Michaels became an IPRA Diversity Task Force member and LGBTQ+ “Safe Zone Conversation” facilitator\, where her mission is to bring diversity\, equity and inclusion to businesses and communities so that everyone has the same opportunities and privileges. Her passion is to advocate and educate\, so that those who follow will have a better life than she has had. \nMichaels earned a B.A. degree in Mathematics from Eastern Illinois University\, where she was the recipient of the Estelle Ruth O’Brien Scholarship in Mathematics. For this achievement\, she was also inducted into the Mathematics Honorary Society\, Kappa Mu Epsilon.

SUMMARY:2020 Virtual Blended Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) Course
