It is truly an honor and an opportunity to be able to address the membership of the WCTA. For those of you who don’t know me well, hello and welcome. Thank you for your investment and continued support of the WCTA.
For those of you that do, please don’t be afraid!! The future of the Association and its direction is in good hands; the Board of Directors does all the hard work, I just get to go along for the ride!
Time is the one thing we can surely count on in life; it passes quickly and leaves us with the things we have accomplished and the things we have left to finish. Each of us has a personal relationship with the work that we do, it is different for everyone and each person has his or her belief as to what the end result should look like.
Determining the content of this President’s message was a bit more difficult than I envisioned. So far this year, President’s messages have been laid out in an attempt to present more of a management-focused theme than that of technical reference.
I hope everyone had a productive and successful summer. As mentioned in past Presidents messages, I would like to focus on non- technical turf management skills.
In this edition, I would like to talk about the role staff play in the success of a good Turf Manager and his/her ability to effectively manage budgets.
What will the New Year bring? Do we have an influence on it? Or are we all at the mercy of what comes our way?
The holiday season and the gateway to the New Year brings the opportunity to reflect on our accomplishments and to ponder the decisions that did not bring us the results we expected.
