PGMS News
Great news for PGMS and the grounds management profession as a whole. The American Public Works Association (APWA) has just announced that it will be endorsing the Certified Grounds Manager (CGM) Program as its official certification program in grounds management. With 26,000 members, APWA represents public works professionals in municipalities throughout Canada and the United States. For grounds personnel working for city, county or state agencies, the CGM designation has just become that more important in advancing their careers. In turn, this endorsement further illustrates the credibility and value of the CGM program for all landscape superintendents and grounds management professionals.
Becoming a CGM signifies that you have met PGMS’ and APWA’s highest standards of grounds management through education and experience. Being certified puts you at the top of your profession. Certification proves that you are dedicated to your profession by expanding your goals and continuing your professional development. It also means that you manage your grounds maintenance operation by using organizational, financial, and management skills. With certification, your presentations, requests for funds and equipment, and recommendations carry more weight.
If you manage the grounds program for a public works agency, or work in another industry in grounds management, make sure to find out more about the CGM program by visiting PGMS online at http://www.pgms.org/cgm.htm. ###
