The Brain Trust

Got Brains? As AAPAR grows, so does our reputation—and the media is calling in search of experts (like you?) to provide information and comment on trends. We've received calls from Redbook, Fitness Magazine, the Chicago Tribune, the Abilene (Texas) Reporter-News, the National Capital Planning Commission, and other organizations all looking for expert input.  

Some of the questions they ask:  

• How many colleges and universities require students to pass a swimming test?
• Are indoor multi-purpose facilities for athletes becoming a trend?
• What are the benefits of traditional gym games such as dodge ball for adults?
• What should Washington, D.C., planners keep in mind as they add new recreational facilities throughout the D.C. area?  

If you have answers to diverse questions like these, and you're an AAPAR member, we invite you to become part of our new Brain Trust to respond to these media inquiries from time to time.
