In the same year, another name change, to New Jersey Golf Course Superintendents Assocation is approved.[8]In 1980, The Greenerside is first published as the Association newsletter.[9] In 2000, GCSANJ organized a coalition of 18 green industry allies and partners to form the New Jersey Alliance for Water Conservation to work in conjunction with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to develop guidelines for water use during times of drought.[10] OrganizationGCSANJ is organized into 4 districts:
