From the President

I am Optimistic I
sincerely hope this letter finds everyone safe and healthy. 2020 has been a challenging year and is now behind us. As I look forward to 2021, I am optimistic that this year is going to bring some relief. It will be wonderful to be able to once again shake the hand of a friend, and have a sit down meal with family and friends without worrying. The turf industry, as a whole, has weathered the Pandemic fairly well. If you have been one of the fortunate ones whose life has not been disrupted, I want to encourage you to look around. You will see many people in need of help. The green spaces that we as turf professionals provide have been a much needed respite for many who have had to shelter in place. I would, also, encourage you to see other ways that you may be able to help during this difficult time. This will be my last letter as President of TCNC. It has been my honor to serve this great organization, and to work with the other board members. Kevin Herman will be your next President. He has been involved with TCNC for many years, and has been a leader in this industry during his career. As we transition, I am confident that TCNC will continue to grow under Kevin’s leadership, and that TCNC will continue to support the turf industry and our membership. Be Well,
