Deadline approaching to apply for ninth annual Green Start Academy

Applications are being accepted through June 29 for the 2014 Green Start Academy from Oct. 15-17 at the Bayer and John Deere facilities in North Carolina.

Green Start Academy is an all-expenses-paid, two-and-a-half-day education and networking event for assistant superintendents. Since 2005, the goal for this program has been to help assistant superintendents build a strong foundation for their careers, as well as to support the future of golf courses and the entire industry.

Attendees will have the opportunity to network with peers and receive valuable insights from industry veterans. With topics from career development to budgeting to labor management, the Green Start Academy provides knowledge and tips essential to professional growth.

To be considered, assistant superintendents must complete the application and submit a résumé and cover letter. The 2014 advisory panel will evaluate and select the 50 highest-ranked applicants to attend the October event. All applicants will be notified by mid-August.

The Green Start Academy program is open to assistant superintendents in the United States and Canada only. Previous Green Start Academy participants will not be considered for participation in future events.
