The Professional Grounds Management Society (PGMS) will be coming to Cincinnati, Ohio on August 2-3 and we want YOU to be there for the next stop in our 2007 Regional Grounds Management Seminar & Site Visitation Series.
This series is tailored specifically for the grounds manager, offering YOU the hard-to-find opportunity to gain knowledge, ask questions, and network with a group of peers about challenges and issues specific to their profession.
Following on the heels of a very successful opening program for the 2007 series held at the Historic Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, this Cincinnati visit will feature a superb offering of education seminars as well as behind-the-scenes tours of the grounds management programs at four diverse sites: Paul Brown Stadium (home of the Cincinnati Bengals), the Great American Ball park (the Red?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s home venue), Spring Grove Cemetery and the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden.
Following tours of Paul Brown Stadium and the Great American Ball Park on Thursday, August 2, the program will feature four education programs during the morning of Friday, August 3.
Tom Smith, who oversees the Green Star Award winning grounds at Spring Grove Cemetery in the Cincinnati area, will offer attendees some insight into getting the best out of your grounds team in the program, ?EUR??,,????'?????<?Motivating Employees to Success.?EUR??,,????'?????<? Another Green Star Award winner, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s Ray Mirizzi will discuss a conundrum that most grounds professionals face ?EUR??,,????'?????<???(R) how to do more with less ?EUR??,,????'?????<???(R) in his presentation, ?EUR??,,????'?????<?Increasing Standardized Performance with Decreasing Dollars.?EUR??,,????'?????<?
With the rapid rate of construction taking place on America?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s educational and corporate campus?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR? another question that grounds managers often ponder is which projects require some outside help and which can be performed in-house. Pam Hays of Egbers Land Design, Inc. will address this issue in her relevant seminar, ?EUR??,,????'?????<?When to Use a Landscape Designer or Landscape Architect.?EUR??,,????'?????<?
Another all-too common dilemma facing the in-house landscape superintendent is receiving recognition for the grounds program?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s value to the organization. Xavier University?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s Dr. Thomas Hayes will help attendees overcome this lack of respect with a multitude of helpful hints presented in ?EUR??,,????'?????<?Internal and External Marketing Strategies to Get You Noticed!?EUR??,,????'?????<?
These education sessions will be followed that afternoon with insider?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s tours of the grounds management programs at Spring Grove Cemetery and the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden. The two-day seminar and visitation will conclude with a networking reception at the Zoo.
All in all, the education and networking opportunities packed in these two days is unparalleled in the field of grounds management. When you factor in the unbeatable price of tuition ?EUR??,,????'?????<???(R) just $75 for PGMS members and $90 for all others ?EUR??,,????'?????<???(R) putting this program on your education schedule is a no-brainer. So what are you waiting for?
