NESTMA HQ Update
Hitting Refresh! By M. Virginia Wood, Executive Director

ESTMA has been running on all cylinders in 2018 — and we couldn’t be more proud to be involved with this fantastic Association! Since we joined NESTMA as its new management team last March, we’ve had the great pleasure of getting to know many volunteer leaders, members, and other fans of the sports turf industry. What we’ve learned in our short tenure is that this arena is filled with knowledgeable, engaged, and committed
professionals — and we’re delighted to be on board. As we continue to learn the ropes, one of our primary goals was to reboot the New England Blade — and here you have it. We hope you’ll see the friendly design and welcoming tone are meant to reflect the dedicated people who are at the center of this Association and our reinvigorated publication. Please read and enjoy this newly redesigned issue of the New England Blade.
Our plan is to curate and publish lively content that’s relevant and helpful to you and your career as a sports turf professional. This is your magazine! We welcome your comments and your content contributions. Please also stay tuned to email for regular updates and event invitations via NESTMA News. • Find out more at rainbird.com/sports
