From the President
Impact Achieved in 2023
Dear Members,
Bustling green golf courses and playgrounds have seamlessly shifted to lively football stadiums and shopping centers around our gorgeous state. While our work at the TCNC is never done, you will find me taking a brief pause this time of year to cheer on my favorite college team, hopefully dominating the green.
As I reflect on this incredible year, I am beyond proud of the work we have accomplished together. From supporting our professions and industry through continued legislative efforts alongside the Green Industry Council (GIC) to re-connecting in-person with our membership and partners at the return of our Annual Conference and new TCNC Meet-Ups, we have uplifted partnerships, met new members, celebrated continued advocacy endeavors, and ignited passion among new and existing turfgrass enthusiasts.
With unwavering dedication, we will continue our mission of promoting the North Carolina turfgrass industry through continuing education, support of NC State research and extension, environmental stewardship, governmental advocacy, and lasting relationships. We will strive for even greater accomplishments in the new year by harnessing the power of collaboration and innovation. I hope you join us as we aim to extend our reach and make an even more profound impact on the turfgrass industry in the coming year.
My door (and email) is always open. I hope you reach out and let me know how to better serve you and help your voice be heard. I wish a joyous and memorable holiday season to you all.
All the best!
Kevin Herrmann
TCNC President
