The National Alliance for Accessible Golf (Alliance) announces its second Accessible/Inclusive Golf for Individuals with Disabilities Conference that will be held on Wednesday, January 23, 2019, in Orlando, FL. The event will take place during the PGA Merchandise Show. Executive Director Steve Jubb, PGA, shares “We are excited to present this forum to bring together those interested in furthering opportunities for individuals with disabilities in golf. We’ve found through our grants work that many instructors and program organizers have the same challenges – program development, sustainability, adaptive equipment, and how to engage with specific populations. Collaboration, idea sharing, and networking will be invaluable for attendees and, ultimately, the individuals who benefit from their efforts.”
Slated for 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 Noon on January 23rd at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, the Conference will feature speakers, panel discussions and collaboration on topics from the ADA and facility accessibility to adaptive equipment to program development and program sustainability. Projected attendees will include PGA and LPGA golf professionals, current and prospective grant recipients, local program coordinators, and all those interested in inclusive opportunities.
Through the presentation of this event, the Alliance continues to further its mission to increase awareness and participation of people with disabilities in the game of golf through advocacy and promotion, education, training initiatives and program funding. This conference will have continuing education credits applied based on the registrant’s membership organization.
