Executive Director’s Corner
Dear Maryland Turfgrass Council Family and Friends
Over the past year we have had some rather big changes with the organization behind the scenes, and we are proud to say we are moving forward. One of the biggest changes has been the incorporation of a Deputy Executive Director to assist and support the Board of Directors and Membership. Many of you have seen me running around the Maryland Turfgrass Conference or seen my picture in previous MTC Turf News magazines, but I want to officially introduce myself to everyone so that you have another resource for the Maryland Turfgrass Council.
My name is Ben Ellis, and I will be taking over as Deputy Executive Director of the Maryland Turfgrass Council. While our current Executive Director is still in the picture and looking at the finish line for retirement, the duties and responsibilities of the staff are going to be handled differently in order to best support the MTC membership. I am looking forward to working with the Board of Directors to help produce the strongest organization that we can. If you need anything from the Maryland Turfgrass Council please do not hesitate to reach out.
To the right you will find some upcoming information for future education, The Maryland Turfgrass Conference, and registration link to sign up for the upcoming educational event on June 14th being offered on Zoom.
We hope everyone has a great turf season, and we look to see you all throughout the year.
Ben Ellis
