TCTGA President
Jan Peery
Tanglewood Christmas Trees
Greetings Members,
We are beginning another great year. I am honored to be your incoming President. As I take on this new role, I would especially like to thank our outgoing President, Tish Woodruff. I also want to thank our Board of Directors, and our Executive Director.
When I joined the TCTGA , I found it provided not only great networking and educational opportunities, but also great new friends throughout the association.
We know we are not alone on this journey! I invite you to share your ideas, thoughts, and feedback with us. A focus on building on your past successes to share with the new growers to help them succeed is appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you, and to seeing you at our upcoming field days and annual conference.
TCTGA are looking forward to a fantastic 2024, and I am grateful for our partnership and dedication to our association to make it all possible! Thank you to the TCTGA members for your involvement in the past and in the future.
Respectfully,
Jan Peery
