The Board of Directors
President message
Dears members,
It is an honor for me to have become the president of the Quebec Golf Superintendents Association. This is a profession that has been promoted and defined by several illustrious presidents for over 60 years. The role of a superintendent is a multidisciplinary job that involves human resources management, budget management, agronomy, irrigation, and many other tasks.
Our association aims to train new superintendents, promote the professionalism of our members, facilitate networking so that they can exchange methods and challenges they face. We also organize activities and continuing education to ensure that Quebec’s superintendents are always up-to-date with new techniques and technologies.
This website serves as a tool for our members to access relevant information, facilitate their registrations, and also promote this magnificent profession to people outside of this field.
