mot <strong>du</strong> PRÉSIDENTPRESIDENT’S messageDear colleagues,Since I took my first steps in the golf in<strong>du</strong>stry, I havegot to know this very unique world by participatingin as many QGSA events as possible and by takingit upon myself to take as many courses as myagenda and budget would permit. I am convincedthat the steps I have taken have ma<strong>de</strong> me a goodsuperinten<strong>de</strong>nt, but I am keenly aware that I stillhave a great <strong>de</strong>al to learn. One of those steps, becominga member of the QGSA Board of Directors,has been very rewarding for me, in several ways.First, I met people who were passionate about theirwork and had a <strong>de</strong>sire to advance our profession.I had the pleasure and privilege of working withRobert Côté, Eric Ward and Christian Pilon, threePresi<strong>de</strong>nts with very different personalities but whohave one thing in common: they all share a genuineinterest in the superinten<strong>de</strong>nt’s profession andwere always generous with their time whenever theQGSA nee<strong>de</strong>d them.Communication is essential to every success, andI firmly intend to make the most of it to advanceour <strong>Association</strong>’s interests. We have the good fortuneof having mo<strong>de</strong>rn technology at our disposalto help us get information out rapidly, and there areno good excuses for not being up on what’s goingon in our field.I therefore invite you to play an active role, to visitour website and to take part in the chat room to expressyour points of view. The more comments youmake, the more we’ll be in tune with your needs.For my part, I promise to continue working with thesame energy that I have <strong>de</strong>monstrated since I firstjoined the Board of Directors. I am sure that withour team in place and the cooperation of Gestias,Jacques <strong>Le</strong>ssardPrési<strong>de</strong>ntwe will be able to make headway on the <strong>Association</strong>’smajor dossiers.In closing, I would like to say a brief word about thelast day of the first Tra<strong>de</strong>show of the Quebec <strong>Golf</strong>In<strong>du</strong>stry. Many people expressed their opinionsabout the future of our in<strong>du</strong>stry, and a number ofcourses of action were proposed. No matter whathappens, we will always be important participantsin the solutions put in place. To that end, we mustmanage change, and not simply submit to it.I wish you all a promising start to the season, anexcellent year of golf and players who are happywith the magnificent courses you provi<strong>de</strong>.Jacques <strong>Le</strong>ssard, ASGQ Presi<strong>de</strong>ntBecoming a director also allowed me to see howmuch work goes into the events organized for ourmembers. Each one is a real team effort, and everyonehas a role to play. One instructor once said:“A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.” Thatsentence has stayed with me, and whenever I haveto rally my team, it’s one of my favourite sentencesfor motivating members to work towards our commongoal: success.I have also had the chance to work with fellow directorswho face completely different challengesbut who are able, <strong>de</strong>spite all kinds of constraints, to<strong>de</strong>liver top-shape golf courses at the same time asthey work diligently to advance the <strong>Association</strong>’sprojects.There are many other positive points, but one thingis sure: being a member of the <strong>Association</strong>’s Boardof Directors helps us grow, not only as superinten<strong>de</strong>ntsbut also as indivi<strong>du</strong>als.Today, it is my turn to step into the Presi<strong>de</strong>nt’sshoes and continue the work of my pre<strong>de</strong>cessors.I am very honoured to be the new Presi<strong>de</strong>nt and Iam aware how much pressure goes with the position.Pressure is an everyday part of our profession,and I know that I can handle it as long as I have thesupport of my colleagues.I have every confi<strong>de</strong>nce in the team around me.I can be the team’s con<strong>du</strong>ctor, but I cannot be aone-man band.Printemps 2011 7
