About Us

Zec Eight Insights was created to focus on strengthening the way parks and recreation organizations develop, synthesize, and leverage information. All planning efforts are highlighted by a data-context approach which is used to establish a baseline foundation. From there, “gaps” are recognized based on community and organizational need along with industry best practices. It is the firm’s belief that all communities should have access to reliable, measurable, and objective information when planning in the public realm.

Our varied work portfolio includes managing a diverse project portfolio across the country with townships, towns, cities, counties, special park districts, and states. Our experience with project management, organizational planning, data analysis, facilitation, and training has allowed us to coordinate park and recreation projects at the local, state, federal, and international levels.
