The Mid-Atlantic Association of Golf Course Superintendents received the Circle of Friends Award from the University of Maryland College of Agriculture and Natural Resource Alumni Association.  IAA Alumni Mike Barrett (Golf Course Management 1995), MAAGCS Past President, accepted the award at the AGNR Alumni Banquet on April 16. The award is given to organizations for "out of the ordinary service" to the college.

The Mid-Atlantic chapter was recognized for its contributions to research, scholarship, and opportunities for students. MAAGCS helps offset travel expenses for IAA Turf Bowl teams and the association graciously waives registration fees for students so they can attend educational events.  The IAA is proud to have many alumni who have served on the MAAGCS Board.  Congratulations to the MAAGCS and welcome to the Circle of Friends.
