The summer chaos is upon us. It is that time of year again for triple-digit temperatures, hot nights, wildfires, and prayers for moisture. Even though it can feel stressful and overwhelming at times, these are the situations where we can show who we are. The harsh conditions cannot compare to the determination, hard work, and dedication we superintendents bring to our job. The challenge of solving new problems or adapting to changing conditions is what keeps our work interesting. Let’s face it, if this job was mundane, many of us would not be in this profession!

Speaking of our profession, this year is GCSAA’s 100^th birthday. It is a time to reflect on the present as well as the past of our organization and all it has done to support and grow our profession. As our founder Colonel John Morley said, “No life is, or can be, self-existent. We depend upon each other.” For the centennial celebration, the GCSAA Foundation has set a goal of raising $1 million to fund new and innovative initiatives for the next 100 years. If you are so inclined, you can make a monetary donation and have your name added to a plaque that will be mounted at GCSAA headquarters in Lawrence, KS.
