Njsga, Block Vision Partner To Present Compelling Golf Summit
The third annual New Jersey State Golf Association Golf Summit is fast approaching and the NJSGA is proud to announce that Block Vision, a leading provider of wellness vision and eye health benefits management services, has partnered with the association to sponsor the Golf Summit.
The NJSGA Golf Summit takes place on Thursday, March 21, at 4 p.m. at the Forsgate Country Club. (See below for information and registration).
“It’s a great thing for both parties. Block Vision is enthusiastic to become part of this program,” said Kevin Purcell, the NJSGA chairman of the Golf Summit. “It will provide them an avenue of exposure to golf administrators and staff of clubs throughout the state.
“The benefit to the NJSGA is a broader approach to the Golf Summit. For the first time, thanks to this sponsorship, we are documenting the presentations on video that can be viewed on our website (NJSGA.org) and possibly adapted into a DVD,” Purcell stated.
“The NJSGA is thrilled that once again we have a terrific lineup of speakers. We have managed to continue to improve on what we have done in the first two years.
“The presentations promise to be educational and the speakers are thoroughly prepared. We are looking forward to hearing from them.”
