Several members of the Golf Academy of America recently attended the annual PGA Fall Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. This event not only gave them the opportunity to meet with many of the companies who hire GAA grads, but it also gave the chance to learn about new trends in the golf industry.
Chris Hunkler, Golf Academy President, says his favorite part, though, is meeting graduates of the school who have found success in the business of golf. "We continually run into our graduates and it is gratifying to have them tell us how big a role in their success Golf Academy of America played," Hunkler says. "Our alumni and the employers who hire them continue to be a significant source of new students."

In addition to Hunkler and Page, others attending the event were Gene Lewis, Marketing Director for GAA's parent company, Education Corporation of America, and Fred Barr, Career Services Director from Golf Academy's Phoenix, Arizona, campus.
