Our guest today is Undrae Johnson who is currently serving as President of the Tennessee Recreation and Parks Association (TRPA). Undrae is the current Parks and Recreation Director for the consolidated Brownsville/Haywood County Parks and Recreation Department. He has served in that role since May 2018.
