The room was filled with good food and drinks, fun music, and great company. It’s one of the signature events that brings community, connection, and holiday spirit together each year!

Calabrese Management provides leadership and extensive knowledge in many varied disciplines to our clients. Recently, our staff wrote an ASTM Standard Guide (F3699-24) and advocated for its passage on behalf of the National Playground Contractors Association, Inc. (NPCAI).

This Standard Guide establishes the knowledge that must be imparted during recreation area installer certification training programs, and requires those programs to provide an exam rooted in best practices that evaluates the knowledge retained by the participants. NPCAI’s Recreation Installation Specialist Certification (RISC) program fully aligns with this ASTM Standard Guide.

Calabrese Management staff knows how standard-setting organizations function and is experienced with managing professional certifications to ensure best practices are being followed for legally-defensible programs. We are proud to have helped NPCAI achieve this milestone.
