Hello Fellow Landscape Professionals:

As we are on the doorstep to spring, I see sprouts of daffodils emerging and new life in the landscape. Probably a bit premature but spring is certainly right around the corner, and it is now time to think about making your properties look their best. A passion of mine is to bring attention to the beauty we create and to celebrate it with our teams. Once a year ALCC hosts an event called the Elite Awards Dinner. It is a fun time to come together with others in our landscape community to celebrate the great work our teams produce. I would love to see each and every one of our member companies submit an award in at least one category. Do not be intimidated by the process or thinking maybe your project will not stand up as there are many categories for you to consider and I see a lot of great work going on all around. As you prepare for spring put it on your to do list to focus on one or two categories you would like to submit and then work with your team to make those projects shine. 

Planning and preparation now will ensure great photos come June/July and then is just an easy step to detail some highlights and challenges of each project and how success was achieved. We will get category information and timing out to members as soon as possible. I can tell you the joy of winning one of these awards with your team is far more valuable than you might imagine and will certainly give you something to reflect upon and be proud of for years to come. I look forward to seeing many great photos and then hopefully celebrating together at our next Elite Awards Dinner.

Sincerely,
