GCSAA addresses hurricane relief

Scott Woodhead of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America addressed Hurricane Katrina and the Gulf Coast relief efforts.

Hurricane Katrina Update
Our prayers are with all the residents of the Gulf Coast and Southern United States as everyone deals with the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. We are especially concerned about the safety and well-being of GCSAA members and their families. In that regard, we are asking you to assist us in making known the availability of GCSAA’s Emergency Relief Fund.

The purpose of the fund is to provide financial assistance to GCSAA members who suffer personal loss or medical hardship. Any GCSAA member is eligible for this assistance. The amount of the assistance provided shall differ by situation up to a maximum of $2,500 per claim. All applicants for assistance will be required to provide written explanation of how the funds will be spent and all claims must be accompanied by documentation, including in the case of personal loss, a copy of appropriate estimates and/or invoices, if requested.

GCSAA reserves the right to verify the information received from an applicant. Legitimate claims will be processed on a first-come, first serve basis. All claims shall be processed by the Senior Manager of Governance/Member Services and approved by the Trustees of the GCSAA Benevolence Fund.

If you have questions about the fund or the application process, please contact GCSAA Senior Manager of Governance/Member Standards Scott Woodhead, at 800/472-7878, ext. 4418 swoodhead@gcsaa.org or Janet Satterlee, GCSAA Senior Manager of Chapter Services at 1-800-472-7878, ext 3603 jsatterlee@gcsaa.org.

We hope that everyone is safe.
