📖✨ The Final Chapter Begins Today…

Fall Registration is now open, and with it, we begin the final season of our beloved theme:
“SEASPAR: Where Every Hero Has a Story—and You Are the Star.” 🌟💙

This year, we’ve cheered on heroes of all kinds—bold, kind, creative, courageous—and now we close this epic journey with one last chance to grab the 2025 Commemorative Hero T-Shirt before the theme retires. 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️👕

But every great story leads to something even bigger… and something very special is on the horizon.
SEASPAR is turning 50 next year, and we’re already writing the first lines of a celebration like no other. 🎉👀

✨ Be part of the finale. Register now and shine in your starring role.

🎉 Celebrating 10 Years of Morgan Magic! 🎉

Please join us in giving a standing ovation to Morgan Mason, who celebrates 10 YEARS of outstanding service, vision, and fire at SEASPAR!

Morgan began her journey as our first-ever Marketing Coordinator, transforming the way SEASPAR tells its story through powerful writing, media presence, and creative magic. ✍️📣 In 2019, she pivoted seamlessly into administrative leadership—and today, she continues to shine as our Business Manager, guiding operations, finances, and agency strategy like the total pro she is.

Along the way, she:
• Navigates challenges with purpose (remember the zillion Zoom links during the pandemic?)
• Leads major initiatives like Distinguished Accreditation with precision and grit
• Oversees audits and helped SEASPAR earn its first GFOA Award of Excellence 🏆
• Boosts cybersecurity, streamlines systems, and launches tech tools like ePACT
• Builds sponsorships, shapes strategy, supports the Rec team—and so much more

She currently serves as Chair of IPRA’s Administration & Finance Section – Marketing Committee, earned an Accounting Certificate with distinction, and is pursuing her CPFO designation—because of course she is. 💼✨

But more than the systems, the policies, and the spreadsheets… Morgan never loses sight of our mission. From her early days photographing participants to her continued presence at events, she shows up for our people. Always.

She’s the kind of leader who doesn’t seek the spotlight—but whose impact is everywhere. A true unsung hero who quietly, consistently, and powerfully helps SEASPAR shine.

Morgan, your drive, your heart, and your brilliant brain make SEASPAR better every single day.

💙 Happy 10-Year Anniversary! We are so lucky to have you.

Shannon began her journey with SEASPAR as our Inclusion Manager, then stepped into the role of Support Staff Manager, and now leads with care and commitment as our HR Manager.

Join us in sending Shannon a big congratulations and thank-you for everything she does. We’re lucky to have her as part of the SEASPAR family! 💐👏
