GCSAA Grassroots Ambassadors

GCSAA is taking its government relations efforts to the next level. We are looking for GCSAA Grassroots Ambassadors. The goal is to match a member of GCSAA with each Member of Congress, and to build strong relationships between them. The program will establish a network of committed volunteers to serve as the “go-to” people for lawmakers and their staff on golf course management issues. The most important thing you can do as a GCSAA Grassroots Ambassador is share your story.

Ambassador Training and Education


Ambassadors will receive the tools and resources needed to become an effective advocate for the profession. This may include participating in webinars, attending town hall meetings during August recess and Get Out the Vote efforts. 

GCSAA started offering Advocacy Bootcamp at the 2015 Golf Industry Show. Ambassadors will interact with a leading grassroots trainer in the country and learn the art of political engagement. Advocacy Bootcamp is by invitation only.
