By law, the park manager “educational program” is “a class, workshop or
educational convention that primarily instructs attendees on issues dealing with
the operation of a mobile home park and is sponsored by a nonprofit organization whose
sole or primar purpose is the advocacy and promotion of the rental mobile home parks
industry.”
