The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) announced today the debut of the Women’s Leadership Academy Nov. 7-9 in Lawrence, Kan., home of GCSAA headquarters.

The event is focused on providing women in the turfgrass industry with education, mentoring and networking enabling participants to unleash their potential, empower their future and become inspirational leaders on scales both small and large. Participants will be guided along a path of discovery aimed at breaking down barriers and enhancing inner skills to maximize their impact as leaders.

The Women’s Leadership Academy will be headlined by Suzy Whaley, PGA Master Professional and first woman to serve as president of the PGA of America. Whaley, who has a unique understanding of the work of turfgrass professionals, having worked side by side with many GCSAA members, will speak to her experience in the golf industry and relate it to turfgrass professionals during a fireside chat at the opening evening reception where participants will be able to ask questions in a conversational format.
