Bayer’s 2020 Women in Golf event goes virtual
Following the success of the inaugural Women in Golf event in 2019, Bayer’s Turf and Ornamental business within the company’s Crop Science division, will host a virtual iteration with educational sessions focused on personal and professional growth and online networking opportunities.
The virtual North American Women in Golf event will take place Sept. 16-18 and will bring together women in turf across the U.S. and Canada for a discussion on diversity in golf course management.
Applications will be accepted through Aug. 10, and attendees will be notified around Aug. 31. All attendees must be at at least 18 years old and a professional in a turf maintenance operation in the U.S. or Canada.
“It is a huge opportunity for women to network together and to get to know one another and to feel that we can support each other in a business that a lot of times we might feel excluded,” said Renee Geyer, superintendent of Firestone CC in Akron, Ohio, of her experience during the 2019 Women in Golf event.
Bayer said the decision to go virtual is meant put all attendees’ health and safety first. Programming includes bringing together new attendees and alumnae members, panel discussions, a keynote speaker and a virtual happy hour.
