AMGUARD officially presented the gift to the GCSAA Foundation on Feb. 9 during the 2022 GCSAA Conference and Trade in San Diego. The money will be used to support the government affairs program that took place during the conference and GCSAA quarterly government affairs briefings that take place throughout the year.
