ATLANTIC CITY, NJ. — (August 1, 2007) – The International Network of Golf Regional Seminar, which will be held for the third year in Atlantic City on October 29, 30 and 31, continues to grow in recognition from those within the golf industry.
The Eastern Pennsylvania Golf Course Owners Association has decided to join with the New Jersey Golf Course Owners Association in holding its annual meeting and attending the Seminar. The New Jersey group scheduled its annual meeting to be held in conjunction with the ING Regional Seminar last year.
"We heard about the seminar last year but did not have enough time to organize our group and attend," said Donna Horvath, president of the Eastern Pennsylvania Golf Course Owners Association. "The reports that came back were that this was a good opportunity to discuss regional issues and network with other people in the industry at the end of our season." We look for any opportunity to expose our members to more information about the industry.
Bob Twoomey, president of the New Jersey Golf Course Owners Association, reiterated the need for the industry to meet at the end of the season on a regional basis.
"There was a healthy exchange of ideas at the seminar last year," said Twoomey. "A lot of key people from throughout the region attended. The fact that it is growing to include representatives from the Eastern Pennsylvania owners is just another plus."
The International Network of Golf, is a 16-year-old organization dedicated to education and communication in the golf industry. It is coming back to Atlantic City, after holding two extremely successful Mid-Atlantic Regional Golf Seminars in Atlantic City in ’05 and ’06.
The highlight of each year for the ING is its annual Spring Conference. Next year it will be held in Atlantic City (May 26-30) – a direct result of the success the Regional Seminars have enjoyed. As a matter of supporting the efforts of the national conference and addressing local issues, the Regional Golf Seminar in Atlantic City was instituted to bring the same focus on education and communication within the golf industry to the Mid-Atlantic region.
The seminar will bring together some of the top minds in all facets of the golf industry for three days of seminars, panel discussions, exhibitions and networking.
The three days of education and communication will all begin with an 18-hole golf tournament at Mays Landing Golf and CC, just west of Atlantic City. The seminar will be held in the Sheraton Convention Center Hotel in Atlantic City.
The Mid-Atlantic Regional Golf Seminar is open to anyone who wants to learn more about the golf industry, network with some of its leaders or bring their latest ideas to the media.
Reasonably priced packages for the conference have been arranged through Gary Shea at Golf Vacations (877-320-1991). Also, information is available on the website at www.golfvacations.com/ing.
