With the Professional Grounds Management Society?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s 2007 School of Grounds Management and newly aligned GIEEXPO coming up rapidly (October 24-27 in Louisville, Ky.) I thought it would be a great time to address all of LSMP?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s readers who aren?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?t yet PGMS members.
In the next few weeks and months I will be discussing much of the Society?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s news from Louisville. This will include a recap of the best of the best in Grounds Management ?EUR??,,????'?????<???(R) PGMS?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR? 2008 Green Star Award Winners, new leadership, etc. We will also be announcing some new initiatives such as our revamped and expanded versions of the PGMS Salary Survey, Web site, and online Career Center to help grounds professionals in their quest to elevate their careers.
However, in the meantime we want to focus on YOU. We want YOUR input. We need YOU backing us as a member in our efforts to advance the grounds management profession. We want to know how we can make PGMS more attractive to YOU. What can we do to make YOU a member? What tools or services would provide YOU value and help you further your grounds management career? How can we help YOU demonstrate the value of PGMS membership to your employer?
Constructive criticism is always welcome. Perhaps you just have questions about the benefits of PGMS membership or want to talk to a member in your area. Maybe you are interested in forming a PGMS Branch in your area. So, what are you waiting for? Let your voice be heard by emailing me at ericgrammer@assnhqtrs.com or giving me a call at 410-223-2861. If you are going to be in Louisville for the GIEEXPO then drop by the PGMS Information Center, introduce yourself, and let us know how we can help YOU.

If you oversee a grounds program in the Lone Star State, keep your eyes peeled for updates regarding a PGMS Regional Seminar & Site Visitation to be hosted in your area this coming March. The PGMS South Central Region is in the initial stages of planning the event and plenty of more updates are yet to come. However, if you are interested in learning more about PGMS or just looking for a venue providing education programs tailored for the grounds manager, keep this program in mind. Updates will be posted as soon as we get them on www.PGMS.org.
