M-A-T-E 2019

I would like to thank all the attendees, vendors and sponsors that attended MATE this year. We had a great educational program which was presented by the VT Turf team. Some of the highlights were the Turf Classes for golf, sports turf, lawn/landscape and sod production, our keynote speaker, Dr. Rossi and our annual Corn Hole Tournament/Reception.

Unfortunately, due to the threat of snow and ice, we did not get the attendance we had planned on for days two and three. This has happened for the same reason in the past which has led the board to believe that some changes are needed. The VTC Board and the M-A-T-E Committee members are in discussions on what those changes should be in order to ensure we have a more attended conference by all. More to come on this subject and be assured that the 2020 MATE Conference is something you are not going to want to miss!

I wish all of you a warm, dry and prosperous spring!

Sincerely,

Scott H. Woodward

VTC President
