From the TTA President

Strong in Numbers

Thank you for an incredible 57th Annual Tennessee Turfgrass Association Conference and Show. We were back to pre-pandemic levels with near record participation in all areas. We were well over 500 registrations, sold out the trade show and had close to 100 participate in the Tennessee Top Golf Championship. There were many programming highlights, but the greatest highlight was simply you in the level of participation. Huge shoutout again to all our sponsors and industry partners as none of this would be possible without your support.

Thanks to the Board of Directors and everyone who contributed to this huge success. I want to again extend a special thank you to the Education, Awards, Conference and Tradeshow committees for all their hard work pulling everything together. Our Executive Director, Melissa Martin, plays a vital role in every step along the way and is the glue that holds it all together. Kudos and thank you, Melissa.

The overall success of the conference will best position the association to fulfill our mission to invest in education, promotion, and the advancement of the green industry in the State of Tennessee and beyond in partnership with the University of Tennessee Turfgrass Department.

Thank you again for our best show yet.

Chris Sykes
