Last week, I continued highlighting GCSAA’s advocacy efforts focusing on Grassroots Ambassadors. This week, I’m following that up focusing on GCSAA’s Advocacy Teams.

19. Advocacy Teams

This won’t be a lengthy post – as it’s piggybacking off last week’s post – but I think it’s important to know there are additional members aiding in the advocacy efforts alongside Grassroots Ambassadors.

GCSAA recognizes not all members are eligible or able to serve as Grassroots Ambassadors. Those unable to serve as ambassadors can support advocacy efforts through GCSAA Advocacy Teams. Each member of an Advocacy Team is assigned a role serving one or more of the Priority Issues policy areas and is tasked with informing their audience on those issues in their area.

By joining an Advocacy Team in your Congressional district, you will be joining an association-wide effort to educate policymakers and protect our industry through coordinated advocacy efforts at the local, state and national levels.

Advocacy Teams will show the strength and significance of the golf industry and create a unified, positive, and proactive message. Advocacy Team members can provide outreach to other policymakers including governors, state lawmakers, state agency officials, and non-governmental organizations

As you can see, Advocacy Team members who team up with Grassroots Ambassadors create a strong, unified message in their district and ensure golf’s voice is heard.
