Joanne Schroeder

I have been involved in leisure administration, education, and research for over 40 years.  As a practitioner and academic, I have been teaching, consulting, developing and leading events, and experiential learning all over the world. I am the first Chairwoman of the World Leisure Organization, an international NGO. My true community interests are held in the belief that Recreation is an Essential Service, beneficial to the health and well being of citizens...and should be equal and accessible for all.

You can find me enjoying all types of recreation outdoors, the more fresh air the better, be it snow, rain, or sunshine... a good pair of shoes, great friends and my family in tow and I am happy and fulfilled.
