North East Ohio PGMS Branch Gets Revitalized
Thanks to the hard work of several motivated society members, specifically Brian Smith and North Central Regional Director Walt Bonvell, the North East Ohio Branch of PGMS is back as evidenced by it recent meeting on March 11 at the Cleveland Botanical Garden. About two dozen green industry professionals attended this event marking this Branch’s renewal.
In addition to an update on PGMS’ national activities and presentation on PGMS’ Green Star Awards program, the meeting also featured Power Point presentations on the grounds operations of Cleveland Botanical Garden and Biltmore Estate. Greg Suver also presented a program on Plant Health. In addition to these presentations, the Branch also elected the following officers: the aforementioned Smith of Progressive’s corporate headquarters in Mayfield Village, Ohio as president; Andrew Pratt of the Cleveland Botanical Garden as vice president; and Beau Mastrine of College of Wooster (Ohio) as secretary/treasurer.
The Branch’s next meeting will be held at College of Wooster and Ohio State University’s Seacrest Arboretum on August 11. For more information on the Branch or the August program contact Brian Smith at 440-446-4874 or brian_k._smith@progressive.com.

Introducing.... Scott
Heren Responsibilities: I maintain a 45-acre campus including the high school and our preschool plus 2 soccer fields, 3 baseball, 2 softball, and 1 football stadium. We also have 7 statues and shrines. I oversee everything outdoors including flowers, tree planting, pruning, and removal, the landscape beds, new projects and snow removal.
Greatest Challenge: Time to do everything I want to accomplish. Thankfully, for me, our president loves to add and continually improve our campus. I am lucky to have the resources and support of everyone here to always upgrade our facility.
His Thoughts on Professionalism: It is representing your facility in the best possible way, dealing with your peers in a helpful manner. It is also performing your job with safety, pride, and the awareness of what needs to be done and getting it done.
