The park and recreation profession consists of many areas of focus. KRPA has seven different branches: administration, aquatics, park and natural resources, park law, recreation, sports, and wellness. Each of these branches are represented by a board. 

KRPA Branch Boards are structured as a 7 member board (Chair, Vice–Chair, and 5 members at large) for each KRPA Branch. Branch board members are expected to serve a three-year term. Board members help communicate to other KRPA members current trends and topics in their branch field. They will also help coordinate with the KRPA office their yearly branch activities: branch conference sessions, mid-year branch workshops, face-to-face meetings, conference calls and networking events. 

Some branch boards have incumbent members, so we are looking to fill:
6 position for the Parks Branch
4 positions for Park Law (KPLEA) Branch
3 positions for the Wellness Branch
