The goal GCSAA Grassroots Ambassadors program is to match a member of GCSAA with each member of Congress, and to build strong relationships between them. The program establishes a network of committed volunteers to serve as the “go-to” people for lawmakers and their staff on golf course management issues. The link between the Member of Congress and the GCSAA Grassroots Ambassador is based on golf facility location. Also, GCSAA Grassroots Ambassadors need to belong to an affiliated chapter. Ambassadors will receive the tools and training needed to become effective advocates for the profession. Grassroots Ambassadors earn GCSAA education points based on the amount of effort they provide. ✦
