How do I let GCSAA know of an upcoming pre-approved program?

Email external.ed.applications@gcsaa.org with the date and city/state location of the offering. If you have multiple offerings, create a spreadsheet and reference the program code. You must have an assigned program code to schedule offerings.

Why does GCSAA ask to receive applications at least 30 days in advance of a program?

A. It allows time for follow up questions and processing time. In addition, events are posted on gcsaa.org, and submitting 30 days in advance provides time to promote your event.

Are chapter meetings eligible for both education points and service points?

No. Chapter meetings are eligible for EITHER education or service points, but never both.

Education points
