Cultivating Our Next Generation

 

Green Start Academy is unique in that it provides an opportunity for assistant superintendents from around the country to network with their peers, who are currently facing the same industry challenges, as they pursue their mutual goal of becoming a golf course superintendent. Each assistant superintendent has a different story to tell and a different background of experience to share, so the forum provides a very particular opportunity to network and develop industry relationships.

Myself and the other superintendent panelists will provide the attendees with information from our career experiences that hopefully can assist these talented young men and women as they pursue their goal of being superintendents. I personally, will be attempting to communicate to the attendees ways that they can help themselves be better prepared for landing their initial superintendent position and once they obtain that position, what to focus on so that they maintain their new position.

I have always felt very strongly about the Green Start Academy and its value to the assistant superintendent community within our industry. I have had my own assistants attend GSA, and all have returned extolling the value of such a forum, and more importantly, the relationships that it fostered.

I extend applause to both Bayer and John Deere for their assistance with the cultivation of the next generation of our industry.
