In 2020, assistant golf course superintendents from across the Mid-Atlantic came together for a day of learning, networking, and camaraderie — and the inaugural Assistants Forum was a huge success. Now, VGCSA Assistant Representative Jordan Clevey (The Federal Club) and MAAGCS Assistant Representative Brad Leitz (Columbia Country Club) are bringing the event back—bigger and better than ever. This year’s Assistants Forum will be hosted at the beautiful River Bend Club and promises a full day of golf, education, and valuable connections.
We’re excited to welcome Jud Sokol, Wealth Advisor with SFG Wealth Management, as our featured guest speaker. Plus, don’t miss the always-popular Superintendent Panel, where you’ll hear real-world insight and advice from some of the region’s top leaders.
