"The GCSAA Education Conference and the Golf Industry Show is recognized for its high quality," GCSAA Chief Executive Officer Mark Woodward, CGCS said. "It is a must attend event in the golf industry because of the diversity of attendees and exhibitors. In addition, the education and networking opportunities are unmatched. In these challenging economic times, one cannot afford not to attend."

One of the highlights of the GCSAA Education Conference is the Opening Session Feb. 5. GCSAA's highest honor, the Old Tom Morris Award, will be presented at this session. The winner of the award will also headline the event as the featured speaker. Other GCSAA top awards that will be presented at this session are the Leo Feser Award, Excellence in Government Relations Award, GCSAA/Golf Digest Environmental Leaders in Golf Awards, President's Award for Environmental Stewardship, and the Col. John Morley Award, formerly the Distinguished Service Award.

GCSAA and its partnering associations of the Golf Industry Show are teaming up with New Orleans Habitat for Humanity to host a series of work days (Feb. 3-4) before the trade show opens to help build homes in some of New Orleans' most devastated areas. To support this first-ever volunteer project, register to participate in the event online at www.gcsaa.org/conference (or use registration form A-2 in the conference and show brochure) or support New Orleans Habitat's efforts through a donation on the registration form. Participation requires a $25 registration fee. The Golf Industry Show will provide transportation from the New Orleans Morial Convention Center, lunch at the work sites, water, sunscreen and a t-shirt. The deadline for registration is Jan. 2.
