PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

HANDS YOU SHAKE

THE

hat makes people join a trade association? This question could keep some association presidents up at night. While I sleep OK, I’m still striving to discover the best ways to attract MTC members. After some research, I found a few reasons why members join industry or trade associations. It’s from a 2014 Small Business survey from our web hosting company, Wild Apricot. Some reasons include the following.

W

Networking This one is pretty clear. Trade associations are filled with potential contacts. At the end of this past school semester, I asked my second-year, accounting-major son how his final grades were, and he said, “Dad, it’s not the grades you make, but the hands you shake!” I must admit, I’d never heard that comment before. Sure, it’s true to some extent, but I still told him it’s about the grades he makes! With the MTC, there are many networking opportunities for members who want to strengthen ties with their peers, hunt for jobs or make longterm beneficial connections.

Events Trade or industry associations usually hold events on a fairly regular basis, as a way of engaging members and creating value for their membership, and the MTC is no exception. For example, we’ll have happy hours at winter conferences, our new corn hole event, fields days and the Angie Cammarota Memorial Golf outing, to name a few.

Professional development Continuing education and professional development are key if you want to succeed in your profession. The MTC offered professional development for more than 40 years through our winter turf conferences. This past year, we collaborated with the Virginia Turfgrass Council and created the Mid-Atlantic Turfgrass Expo (or M-A-T-E). With the MATE conference and

MTC TURF NEWS

a few local workshops, the MTC offered excellent opportunities for members to get recertified in their pesticide and fertility needs.

Information/news The MTC works hard to maintain an informative website and our quarterly MTC Turf News magazine. We do this to engage our members and to offer the latest news for Maryland’s turfgrass industry.

Support the organization’s mission The MTC’s mission statement is this: To promote the improvement of turfgrass culture, production, research and education in the state of Maryland by upholding a high standard of professional practice and environmental stewardship by all those engaged in all facets of turfgrass management. Many members in the MTC work tirelessly, keeping our membership up to date with local, state and national regulations and laws that affect the turf industry. Individuals support the mission of the MTC and the work it does. After all, our members have often dedicated their professional lives to the turfgrass industry — they want it and others in it to succeed.

As you can see, the MTC has what people want when joining a trade association. Turf professionals are realizing the benefits and value of a MTC membership, as we have seen a nice increase in new member sign ups at our recent events. Even with the increases, you can still support your turfgrass industry by getting involved. So, go out and shake those hands. Do yourself a favor, and join or renew your Maryland Turfgrass Council membership today.

Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Bill Warpinski 2015–2016 MTC President Central Sod Farms

FROM THE MTC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

M.A.T.E

Earns Almost

$20 , 000 for TURFGRASS RESEARCH!! ast summer, we broke the news that the MTC and the VTC (Virginia Turfgrass Council) had joined forces to create the new, bigger and better M.A.T.E. (Mid-Atlantic Turfgrass Exposition) at the Fredericksburg Convention Center. However, just prior to our first joint conference this past January, we had a record three-foot blizzard, which meant that some of us had trouble getting to the conference due to snow covered roads, and many more of us were working 48, 72 or 96 hours or more pushing snow.

However, even with reduced attendance, we still donated ALL PROCEEDS from the M.A.T.E. conference, which were equally divided between the University of Maryland and VPI Turfgrass Programs. That donation was just under $20,000.

Fredericksburg was chosen for the joint conference because it is centrally located when you look at the area of both states.

It also has a huge facility, is reasonably priced, is easy to get to with ample free parking and is surrounded by several reasonably priced hotels and restaurants. Fredericksburg is only a little more than an hour from College Park.

Take a look at http://turfconference.org to see the size of the tradeshow and those who have already committed to exhibit this coming year. However, there is still plenty of room for you to exhibit if you are interested. Just give me a call, and I will get all the pertinent information to you.

For all those who are wondering, there will be the usual Maryland Pesticide Applicator License Recertification as well as the Maryland Fertilizer Applicator License Recertification

MTC TURF NEWS

offered at the M.A.T.E. Conference, not just once but on two separate days.

Also, for those who are thinking, “There is no way I can send my entire crew to a four-day conference,” don’t worry — your MTC board of directors is planning for that, too. Plans are already being prepared to have several MTC-sponsored, single-day conferences at various locations across Maryland, where you can get your six-hour recertification for pesticides and your two-hour recertification for fertilizer applications.

Please watch the MTC website www.mdturfcouncil.org for the various class dates.

M.A.T.E. gives you all kinds of opportunities, including a larger network of professionals gathered in one location, a large tradeshow complete with large equipment and so much, much more! So mark your calendars today for January 30 to February 2, 2017. We have made special arrangements for no blizzards during those dates. You don’t want to miss this!

If we can pull together and earn almost $20,000 for turfgrass research during a BLIZZARD, just imagine what we can do when we can ALL get to the conference!!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at mate.turf@verizon.net.

team of Turf Terps placed third at the 2016 Collegiate Turf Bowl Competition in San Diego this past spring. They were Scott Hebert, Jimmy Haley, Marvin Martinez and Ian Patrican, all second-year students from the Institute of Applied Agriculture (IAA) at the University of Maryland, College Park. This is the fifth consecutive year that a UMD team placed in the top three.

The foursome was one of two UMD teams to compete against 60 other teams from 32 different universities and colleges across the United States. The other UMD team, including Christian Brinkerhoff, Jacob Kilmon, Shaun Clark and Jarod Knopp, came in 27th.

“Since 2000, when we began taking teams of UMD students to the Turf Bowl, the competition has grown substantially,” said Dr. Kevin Mathias, Lecturer and Coordinator for Turfgrass and Golf Course Management at the IAA. “Placing third is a great confirmation that the Golf Course Management program at the IAA is one of the best in the nation.” •
