Generalist Ranger Task Force - Final Report
Cover Memo - 20K PDF
Generalist Ranger Task Force Report 11/2/07 - 80 pages 850K PDF

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Generalist Ranger Task Force concludes that the generalist model continues to be a viable solution for the statewide delivery of Visitor Services core program responsibilities. It further finds that specialization of some job functions within the Ranger and Lifeguard position has already taken place without centralized guidance. The Generalist Ranger Task Force recommends that California State Parks choose to actively guide the evolution of the generalist Ranger and Lifeguard. The following report details findings and recommendations that can lead towards that end.
