Executive Director’s Message – continued from page 9 college students majoring in horticulture. The 2011 Summer Green Road Show also included our first Young Professional Leadership Program. You will be receiving your annual membership dues renewal soon. With your support, the NCNLA will continue the many programs that help your business in these difficult times and work towards developing a brighter future for our industry. N. C. Tobacco Trust Fund Commission and NCDA&CS Award Marketing Grants to NCNLA We received some exciting news from the NC Tobacco Trust Fund Commission (TTFC), and the NCDA&CS Specialty Crop Block Grant program, that they have awarded grants to the NCNLA to promote the nursery and landscape industry. NCNLA will receive $250,000 from the TTFC to continue the marketing project funded by the TTFC this past year. In addition, the NCDA&CS awarded NCNLA a grant for $100,000, also for marketing our industry. We will use these funds over the next two years to advertise NC nurseries to wholesale buyers, promote the Green & Growin’ Show and Summer Green Road Show, as well as promote our nursery and landscape industry to consumers. This will allow us to build on our past years’ success and make a bigger impact on our customers. Our goal is to increase demand for plants and landscape services. It’s important that we continue to remind wholesale buyers of the many reasons for sourcing their plants from NC nurseries and make it easy for them to locate our nurseries through BuyNCPlants.com and the Buyers Guide. And equally important, educate the consumer that plants are a necessity for all the environmental, economic, and quality of life reasons. Thank you 2011 Board of Directors Finally, the next time you see one of our NCNLA directors, please thank them for all they have done for the green industry over the past year. Your board of directors has been very busy and accomplished a lot on behalf of the NCNLA membership. They have given their time very unselfishly for the good of everyone in the nursery and landscape business. I look forward to seeing everyone at the Green & Growin’ Show, January 16 – 20 in Greensboro, NC.
