Letter from the President 2014 Dear TOCA members, It goes without saying that the greatest asset we have as an association is our membership. The collective talent and green industry experience within the TOCA ranks is truly impressive. As I scroll through the names on our membership roster, I'm honored to see mine listed alongside so many knowledgeable, dedicated and creative communicators, who make a difference for their organizations and the industry day- in and day-out. In our 25 th year, I'm proud to say that TOCA is the benchmark credential for green industry communications. I invite you to review our 2014 directory and see the diversity of the organization. You will find a membership comprised of publishing and association professionals, academics, corporate marketers, marketing communications agency pros and more. Equally important, you will find those folks representing large companies as well as smaller organizations and freelancers. We are committed to continue to grow our ranks and diversity while providing ongoing value for our current members. As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, I urge you to make the most of your membership by building more relationships and connections within the organization. Attend our trade show events, make time for professional development at the annual meeting and build connections with a few more of the names you see in this year's directory. You won't regret it. I also request that you consider others colleagues or acquaintances who might benefit from TOCA. We're poised for growth and we look forward to providing professional development, networking and friendship to more members in years to come. You can help us achieve this goal and strengthen the association. Thank you for your commitment to this organization. I look forward to getting to know you better. Don't hesitate to give me a call to chat about TOCA—or anything else. Sincerely, Jason Schmaderer TOCA President TOCA 605 Columbus Ave. S.
