Vermont State Golf Day

Join us on Thursday, April 19th in Montpelier, VT for the Annual Vermont State Golf Day.  This event will be taking place at the State Capital - located at 115 State Street, Montpelier, VT.

Events for the day: (Schedule changed on 4/18/18)

~12:45pm  Photo opportunity in the Senate Chamber before the Senate begins their session

~1:00-1:30pm  Reading of the Proclamation declaring it Vermont State Golf Day in the House Chamber

~2:00-2:30pm  Reading of the Proclamation declaring it Vermont State Golf Day in the Senate Chamber

3:00-6:00pm Cocktail reception with indoor hitting nets and putting greens in the State House Cafeteria. A time to network with legislators.

The purpose of this event is to build relationships between those of us in the golf industry and our state legislators.  We want them to know your stories when it comes to voting on legislation that could impact your business and our industry.  We hope that you can plan to join us for as much of the day as your schedule allows.  The reception will be the primary opportunity to interact with your state Senators and Representatives.

Spearheading this event is State Senator David Soucy (Green Mountain Golf Club).  You can reach him by email at [email protected]  or by phone (802) 236-3555.   David is trying to prepare a document aligning key contacts at every golf facility in the state (owner, pro, super) and matching the legislators for each facility.  Please email him that information.

The New England Golf Course Owners Association (NEGCOA) is actively trying to promote increased involvement on legislative and advocacy fronts.  We find that we are always fighting issues on pesticide regulations, wage increases, family leave, taxes, toxic substances, and economic development.  Your presence at this event sends the message that the opportunity to be heard is important to your business and livelihood.  We hope that you can carve out some time to attend.

Feel free to contact Elaine Gebhardt at [email protected] or 774-430-9031 with any additional questions.
