TCNC President's Message

Learn, Serve and Connect

As 2022 wound down, the TCNC Board of Directors held a strategic discovery and planning session in Wilmington, NC. Throughout the last two years, our Board meetings have been online. This was our first in-person meeting since 2020 and we were able to accomplish a lot.

The discussions centered on the value that membership brings to each of you, our partnerships, and the green industry in North Carolina. Over the weeks and months ahead, you will begin to see the value of your membership working for you in many positive ways.

One of the conversations that really struck home with us is how important it is for our turfgrass community to learn, serve, and connect both professionally and for fun. With that in mind, you will be seeing and hearing from us throughout 2023 with these opportunities. Come join us, stay connected on social media, check your emails, attend our events, and even consider volunteering.

A FEW HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2023:

• The Annual General Meeting is in-person this March! Keep an eye out for the Save the Date.

• The Knowledge Series 2023 continues online and in-person. We will focus on some of the more difficult credits to obtain.

• The NCCTP program will be easier to access and certify.

• Collaborations with the NC Green Industry Council to create a comprehensive legislative agenda.

• Meet-ups throughout NC for fun and community involvement

I am appreciative of the time, talent, and energy our Board dedicates to TCNC each year – Brian, Gene, Greg, Jonathan, Shaun, and Wil – THANK YOU!!

Please, come meet up with us this year at events, in person and online.

We believe the best in the green industry are at TCNC!

Sincerely,

Kevin Herrmann

TCNC President
