The board met last week to continue planning for the fall. We received several responses to the survey asking for guidance on a October golf event and the Annual Meeting format. Many people responded they would be interested in attending a golf event. We are excited to announce we are headed to Champaign Country Club on Monday Oct 26. We will have more details over the next couple weeks. Please save the date on your calendars and join us for golf!!!
We also had positive response to hosting an Annual Meeting. The vast majority were in favor of having an in-person gathering if possible. We are working through several scenarios and at this time plan to host the meeting in-person. Many things can and may change before Dec 7 and we will be prepared with options to meet the needs of our members, but also keep everyone as safe as possible.
Annual elections will take place at the Annual Meeting. The nomination committee is requesting a call for nominations. If you are interested in serving on the Board, please reach out to Bryan. It is a very rewarding process and provides valuable experience and networking opportunities.
We also finalized and approved the scholarship award application. We will be offering two traditional scholarships and a new offering for continuing education for a CIGCSA member. The continuing education award is geared towards people within our profession that want to enroll or continue their formal education in Turf Sciences.
At the national level, both the Chapter Delegates and Golf Industry Show will be virtual events this year. Chapter Delegates will meet October 20 and 21st. Because the meeting is being held virtually, GCSAA invited two members from each chapter to attend. This is a good opportunity for our chapter and Dan and I will represent CIGCSA.
Remember to keep October 26 and Dec 7 open on your calendars and join us at our events. Thanks for taking the time to read our update. Stay safe!
Travis Williams, CGCS
2020 CIGCSA Board President
