Would you make a great
UCFS Board Member?
The UCFS Nominations Committee is soliciting
qualified UCFS members to help the organization
deliver on its mission to grow the competence, con-
fidence, and camaraderie of all professionals who
grow and care for community forests!
Would you or someone you know make a great
board member for UCFS? Our organization has
been a sound and steady presence since 1964,
helping people speak for the trees. An increased
understanding of urban forestry, a new stra-
tegic direction, and a historic moment for
urban forestry funding makes now an especially
exciting time to serve as a board member.
Potential candidates must have been a profes-
sional member in good standing for the last three
years and have participated in or attended an
UCFS-related activity such as the Annual Meeting/
Conference, MFI, or have served on a committee.
Our members do great things throughout the year! The
UCFS Outreach Committee is seeking nominations for
awards and honors that will be presented during a recep-
tion at the annual UCFS Conference and Tradeshow, which
in 2024 will be in Chicago, Illinois on November 18–19.
Nominating someone for an award is an excellent way to
recognize the hard work they do planting and caring for
trees or contributing in other ways to our field, like in the
areas of education and research. Take some time to think
of a deserving candidate and nominate them today!
More information on the award categories and
a form to submit nominees can be found here.
