Chapter
Outreach Funds still available! Apply today!
If your chapter is looking to expand its outreach
efforts, there are still funds available to assist
you through the GCSAA Chapter Outreach Grant Program.
The program was established a fund to assist its
affiliated chapters in communicating with key
constituents, primarily golfers and employers.
So far six chapters have received grants, with
an average of $3,000 per grant. The grants will
be used to fund projects such as radio sponsorships,
advertisements in state golf association publications,
public relations campaigns and more. The application
can be downloaded
online.
It’s
the season for annual meetings! If your chapter has held its annual meeting
and election please remember to fill out the chapter
leadership update form. Staff will update GCSAA
records and ensure that board service points are
awarded.
