Distinguished Members Honored

CLCA’s recent successes in water management, legislation and member benefit programs are not the product of a liberal application of pixie dust, but the result of dedication and commitment by a special cadre of your colleagues. Each year, the association honors those who have made an exceptional impact on the association and the green industry. The 2024 awards were presented during the association’s annual Leadership Conference, held in Sacramento January 14-15, 2025.
