"It all kind of happened by accident at the 2000 Carolinas Show," says Rogers. "We were talking about equipment and then the topic kind turned toward maybe getting an association started." A more formal meeting to explore the idea was scheduled for the 2001 Carolinas GCSA Conference. Rex Floyd, was serving as president of the CGCSA at the time. He hosted the service tech seminars that year and admits to not knowing what to expect at that first organizational meeting when they asked those interested to stay after the regular educational seminar.
