Dear Peaks & Prairies GCSA Members:
After careful consideration, the Peaks & Prairies GCSA Board of Directors has cancelled the 2021 “Almost” Spring Meeting. We postponed the decision as along as possible, in anticipation of a quicker start to normalcy early 2021. Many of our members have indicated hesitation or reluctance to participate for various reasons and we still find several employers are still strongly encouraging employees to not attend large gatherings.
During the pandemic we have continued to offer educational opportunities. This past fall we met in person, offering an opportunity to network with peers, take advantage of the knowledge present at the trade show, and earn pesticide re-certification credit and GCSAA EDUs. Many of our members participated last week in the annual PPGCSA private webcast moderated by Roch Gaussoin, PhD.
With the cancellation of our upcoming event and the spring golf season around the corner, we look forward to strong attendance and support at our 2021 Montana and Wyoming Scholarship/Education Golf Events (location TBD), and at the Northwest GCSA Turfgrass Expo this fall, where our chapter will join the Idaho GCSA and Inland Empire GCSA at the Coeur d’Alene Resort.
In the meantime, we encourage you to participate in the 2021 GCSAA Virtual GIS. Outstanding education will be available throughout February for a reasonable fee for you and your employees. During these unprecedented times, you many find several opportunities to further your education free of cost – but keep in mind that events such as the GIS use the proceeds to advance the turf professional and the turf industry.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Regards,
Mike Kitchen, CGCS
President, Peaks & Prairies GCSA
