R&R Products Inc. has pledged its support of GCSAA and its members by committing to participate in the association's Partner Recognition Program. R&R Products will invest resources at the program's "Silver" level.

"We are proud to welcome R&R Products to the GCSAA Partner Recognition Program," GCSAA CEO Mark Woodward, CGCS, said. "These resources are invested for the benefit of GCSAA's stakeholders -- member superintendents, their facilities and the golf course management profession. The investments do not go to stockholders in the form of dividends or profits. They are put to work to develop education programs, conduct research, offer career resources, create information resources and develop tools to assist our members. Without the support of industry, GCSAA would not have the ability to provide resources to the benefit of its members and their employers. That is why we call our friends in the industry 'partners.' We are appreciative of R&R Products' support and I know our members are as well."

"We are proud to support GCSAA and its members," Brian Larson, R&R Products vice president, said. "R&R Products benefits from the recognition of being a GCSAA Silver Partner and we feel that GCSAA and its members benefit from our support, various products and services."

"The feedback from our partners regarding the first year of this program has been extremely positive," GCSAA CEO Mark Woodward, CGCS, said.

It also reinforces the investment industry makes to the association and the profession."
