PAGCS to Offer Education Opportunity to Members

This fall, the PAGCS is partnering with the Carolinas GCSA in an online conference to satisfy members’ ongoing education needs during the coronavirus pandemic. Known as Conference Comes to You, the program will deliver 30 distinct seminars scheduled – one a day – over 30 weekdays, starting November 2. There will be a one-week break over Thanksgiving.

Using a tailored Zoom platform, the two-hour seminars will be presented live each day at 1 pm EST by some of the leading researchers, scientists and experts in their field. All seminars will carry GCSAA education points and, where applicable in participating states, many will carry pesticide credits–the PAGCS is working on obtaining PA pesticide credits for its members.

As official partners with the Carolinas GCSA in this effort, PAGCS members will receive designated member pricing for every seminar, discounted from $70 to $40.

In addition to first-class education, our members will also be eligible to share in $30,000 worth of cash giveaways. A total of 82 prizes – ranging from $100 to $2,500 – will be drawn, live on the Carolinas GCSA Facebook page at 1 pm EST on December 21. Each seminar you take qualifies you for one entry. The more seminars you take, the more chances you have to win. To validate your entry, you must watch a series of brief messages from our Industry Partners.

Our chapter benefits from your participation. A portion of each registration fee paid for by Philadelphia Association of GCS member, will come back to the chapter. Registration and complete conference information is available through a purpose-built website: www.ConferenceComestoYou.org
