A Message From BY CAREY MITCHELSON, MTF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
MTF Conference Update
O
n behalf of the MTF Board of Directors I would like to thank all those who attended the 90th Annual MTF Turf Conference. This year’s event held January 7th – 9th was well received, attended and financially sound. As with all conferences there are crucial leaders that work diligently to ensure attendees are offered a variety of topics and speakers. Dr. Kevin Frank is MTF’s lead individual regarding our conference subject matter, speakers and collective organization. His efforts are always appreciated but not always fully recognized. The MTF is fortunate to have his work ethic and dedication to ensure our conference always produces a quality product. Thank you, Kevin, for all your hard work and how you represent the University. Dr. Frank starts planning for the 2021 Conference before this one completed and as always is open for suggestions on content and speakers. The MTF always considers suggestions from its membership regarding items that may be of interest at the Conference. For
those with thoughts on improving our 3 days of conference they can be directed to our gmail account at: miturfgrass@gmail.com. Also, to be acknowledged is our re-elected Vice President and Conference Chairman Mr. Curt Boak. Curt has completed his third year as Conference Chairman, and has constantly worked to improve and coordinate the event to make it informative and enjoyable for all attendees…..no small task. The time commitment involved requires a dedicated individual and Curt has always delivered. During our 3 days at the Kellogg Conference Center there were many moments that should be acknowledged. Congratulations to Michael Rabe, Jerod Pell IV and Alex Scott all MTF Scholarship awardees. All annual awards are held in the Auditorium and it is always a remarkable moment for family, friends and all those involved with the students.
