Certification for Turfgrass Consulting.

Luther Smith, ASA/CSSA/SSSA Headquarters, 677 S. Segoe Rd., Madison, WI 53711-1086

Certification programs strive to set industry performance and conduct standards that protect the profession and the public.  There are several certification programs currently available in the turf grass industry.  Each serves a specific purpose and audience.  The question was raised regarding the need for a new certification program similar to the CCA program but for those who focus on turf grass.  A discussion on what is currently available and what might be needed for the future.
