Salt Lake City's Richard Williams Earns CGM Status

(Baltimore, MD) - The Professional Grounds Management Society (PGMS) has announced that Richard Williams of Salt Lake City, Utah has become the 125th grounds management professional to successfully complete its Certified Grounds Manager (CGM) program.

Williams currently serves as Grounds Manager at Shriners Hospital for Children. PGMS recently spent a few moments getting to know Richard.

PGMS: How long have you been a PGMS member?
Williams: Since 2008.

PGMS: Why did you want to become a CGM?
Williams: I felt like our industry was not recognized enough for the experience and training required. I felt like the Certification would give recognition to our field of expertise, on a personal and professional level.

PGMS: What did you think of the program?
Williams: It made me realize the scope and intricacy of grounds maintenance, and I enjoyed the review and learning process. It was a lot of work, but was rewarding, and it leads to a valuable source of information to have compiled on your grounds.
