GREENSBORO,
N.C., USA, May 15, 2014 – Golf course superintendents seeking to enhance their business acumen can
now apply for the 2014 Syngenta Business Institute™ (SBI). Through SBI, Syngenta partners with the nationally-ranked Wake Forest University
School of Business to provide superintendents
with heightened business and managerial skills.
The sixth annual SBI will take place Dec. 8-11,
2014, in Winston-Salem, N.C. Syngenta receives more than 80 applications annually
and approximately 25 superintendents are chosen to attend
the program.
Selected participants will learn business
management practices presented by Wake Forest University faculty including:
financial management, human resources management, delegation skills, effective
communication, negotiation tactics and more. To be considered, candidates must
complete the application, which includes an essay on why they should be
selected, relevant professional experience and educational background.
“The Syngenta Business Institute is definitely
in the top three, if not the top event I have ever participated in. Through the
Syngenta Business Institute, the professional manager inside of me was
rekindled,” says Erwin McKone, superintendent at Briar Ridge Country Club in
Schererville, Ind., who attended SBI in 2013. “I came away from SBI invigorated
and excited, ready to lead and inspire my club, my family and my staff.”
For more than five years, superintendents have
recognized this program for its effectiveness and impact on their careers.
“After attending hundreds of hours of seminars
over the past 25 years, the most impressive experience has been the camaraderie
between all of the superintendents who attended the Syngenta Business
Institute,” says Jeff Smelser, superintendent at Galveston Country Club in
Galveston, Texas. “I really appreciated the instructors; their effectiveness
communicating the information was second to none.”
To learn more about the Syngenta Business
Institute and how you can apply, please visit GreenCastonline.com/SBI or contact your local Syngenta territory manager. Completed SBI applications are due Tuesday,
Aug. 19, 2014. Participants will be notified of their acceptance into the
