Leonard Ehrler and Associates, Inc. was formed for a specific purpose: to provide public park and recreation departments with affordable, advanced and experienced professional services. We believed--and still do--that this purpose could only be achieved by individuals with complete dedication to parks and recreation. This dedication meant that the Leonard Ehrler and Associates teams would need years of practice outside the consulting field, including broad experience within various local, regional and state park and recreation agencies. This end has been achieved.
