Affordable health insurance
ANPR offers insurance (medical, dental, vision and term life) to ANPR members, including seasonal park workers and volunteers who don’t receive insurance benefits through their employers. In addition, this coverage is possible for spouses and family of ANPR members.

Open enrollment is May 15 - June 15, 2012. It is a limited accident and sickness insurance plan, and members have access to the MultiPlan Network of health care professionals, about 625,000 nationwide.

Prepare children for safety in the outdoors. ANPR's award-winning "Lost . . . but Found, Safe and Sound" video is designed to teach children, ages 4-12, what to do if they become lost in remote areas such as parks or forests. Get your copy!

Student employment programs to change
April is when guidelines from the Office of Personnel Management are expected about a new program called Pathways. It will consolidate programs for recruiting and hiring students and recent graduates and will replace the current Student Temporary Employment Program and the Student Career Experience Program employment programs. The new guidelines likely will allow for the grandfathering in of existing students on the rolls as of April 1, 2012. Any new student hired after April 1 will need to meet the guidelines set forth in the new issued policy. A link to more information about Pathways. The executive order is here.

Professional liability insurance
ANPR has secured a discounted professional liability insurance plan for its members who are full- or part-time employees.
