DECEMBER 2025

Holy Moly! How are we nearing the end of 2025 already?!

I hope your year was bountiful, both in revenue and learning experiences. Because we all make mistakes, the difference comes from how we learn from them and do different in the future. 

ALCC doesn't mess around when it comes to end of year events. Just a few weeks ago, we recognized impactful volunteers, scholarship recipients, innovation and sustainable projects, and properties that demonstrated excellence in maintenance and design/build practices. Hopefully you were able to attend, but if you weren't please take some time to check out the honorees and winners. They're sure to inspire you to greatness next season. 
 
The ELITE awards were just the beginning of the end of year festivities for the ALCC. The Southern Chapter, the Denver Chapter, and the Northern chapter are each having an end of the year shindig! Hopefully you've received an email with the specifics of each event, but if not, check out the events calendar on alcc.com for details.  
 
The end of 2025 also means I am nearing the end of my presidency, which has been an amazing experience. To be honest- it was intimidating, almost overwhelming, to take on the role of President of the Associated of Landscape Contractors of Colorado. 2026 marks 20 years in business for my company, but at the end of the day, I don't see myself as some landscaping guru. I am a mother of two and a small business owner, I simply do the best that I can do for my company and my family every day. I am honored and humbled to have served as President of the ALCC board.  I hope my presidency has had a meaningful impact on this organization. 
 
Of my 20 years in business, I have been a dedicated volunteer for ALCC for 15 of those years. To say that the ALCC has been an integral part of our success is an understatement. I am passionate about my commitment to the ALCC because of the impact it has had on my company. The end of my term doesn't mean the end of my involvement with this organization. It just means my role is changing- I promise you will still see my smiling face at as many ALCC events that I can attend in the future- both state-wide and in the Southern Chapter which is my home district. As we look forward to 2026, I confidently leave you in the hands of the incoming president, Ben Fisk. Ben is an inspiring individual, and I am fortunate to call him my friend. I learn something from him every single time we interact. He flies under the radar because he is quiet and reserved when you first meet him, but he is a powerhouse of a human being and the ALCC is lucky to have him at the helm for 2026. 
 
It has been a privilege to be your President. I wish you and yours the best in the coming year. As I have said throughout the year, keep your head up and do your best - that's all you can do.
Take Care!

Anne
