Dear LO members,

As we bid farewell to winter's embrace, it is with great anticipation and excitement that I extend a warm greeting to each of you. As the days lengthen and nature begins to stir, it's time for us to channel our enthusiasm into preparing for the vibrant season ahead. Spring is not only a time of renewal and growth, but also a canvas for us to paint a landscape that reflects the beauty of our diverse community.

I am eager to share a message of inspiration and unity as we embark on the journey toward a stunning spring transformation. Together, let us embrace the opportunities to enhance our landscapes, build destination companies, foster community engagement and create spaces that inspire joy and connection for all.

Here are a few key points to guide our efforts:

• Educate your teams,
• Provide an inclusive environment of learning and understanding,
• Volunteer for something you are passionate about within the association (and encourage your team to participate, too).

We are leaders in what we do. Let’s not be afraid to showcase our talents. Have a wonderful spring and remember we are stronger together. Lean on each other to push to new heights.
