It’s that time again – the third annualGreen Expo!! We have been workingfor months to give you another great
opportunity to “Greet and Meet” your fel-low industry professionals, see the latestin equipment, learn new methods of pro-duction, educate yourself on the newesttrends in the industry, visit with your sup-pliers, lend your voice and experience tothe newest among us and of course,have a great time, all under one roof.
The Trade Show will be open from3:00-6:00 on Monday, January 11, andfrom 8:00-7:00 on Tuesday, January 12,so there is plenty of time to get aroundto all the vendors and do some windowshopping or even some serious shop-ping. I am sure they will be happy toaccommodate everyone.
We again have a nice mix of speakersfrom motivation and teamwork, to per-meable pavers and green roofs, to work-ing smarter, to historic plants, to winterconifers, to propagation techniques, toquick and dirty design, to buying or sell-ing a business, to GreatPlants®, to…WOW…it’s time to rest!!!
And while we are resting, let’s wanderthe tables of silent auction items. Thesilent auction starts at 1:30 this yearwhich gives us all a lot more time to lookover the merchandise and maybe bringa pair of hedge clippers home to thewife…OOPs! You aren’t really going to dothat, are you? There is an auction dona-tion form in this newsletter, please takea minute and donate something to theauction. The funds earned at the auctiongo to student scholarships and educa-
tion, both help serve the industry, sodonate anything from a pocket knife, to astepping stone, to a book, to a wheelbar-row, to a “hedge clipper,” to gift certifi-cates for lunch or dinner, to bakedgoods, to plants, to seed packets, to atrip to the Bahamas for the ExecutiveDirector. Oh, did I say that?
The Tuesday Night LIVE Auctionbegins at 6:00pm and goes until we runout of auction items. Don’t hesitate todonate an item for the live auction, thereare always lots of laughs and lots of bid-ding, so get in the action and practiceraising that hand. Our friend and perma-nent auctioneer, Martin Kluethe, will be
back to talk you out of your money.Something NEW this year, “Greet and
Meet your Board Members” between4:00 and 5:00 on Monday in the Mid-America lobby. What a perfect time todiscuss the industry, the NNLA, ques-tions you have or just stop by to intro-duce yourself and say hi. Grab a drinkand let’s visit!
We sincerely hope you will considerattending the Green Expo and sendingyour staff for the education and network-ing benefits. The NNLA is always here toserve the industry and its members.
See you in January!!Helen Adams, Executive Director

Here wea r e ,count-
ing down to theend of an unusu-al year—record-breaking, in fact.Cold, heat,drought, rain,storms, politics,economics—you
name it, a record of some sort fell orwas at least threatened. Most of thishappened in spite of our best or worstefforts; some of it, because of what wedid do or intend to do. Our individualefforts toward a cleaner, greener,brighter future are making a differencein energy consumption and conserva-tion, in development of economical andecological (hence the catch-phrase‘eco’…) products and methods. Peopleare rediscovering what those of us inthe Green Industry have not only knownbut attempted to practice for all our pri-
vate and professional lives: the health ofthe planet relies on the health of theplants, and we have a significant role toplay in the sustainability of this system.
The Nebraska Green Expo bringstogether people with diverse opinionsand different approaches to planning,planting, and managing the landscape,however and wherever it is found. Andit’s really only through understandingand discussing differences that we cancollectively figure out what works andwhat doesn’t and continue to promotethe best practices for all of us. So let’smake this a record year for the GreenExpo as well. Very few conferences andtrade shows offer so much for so little,between workshops and breakout ses-sions and vendors and opportunities forcamaraderie. The first two years werewithout a doubt successful. Evaluationswere positive, suggestions were madefor improvements, and the financial bot-tom line was black. If we apply the well-used phrase ‘third time’s the charm’ to
this third Green Expo, 2010 will be theyear to break the records for atten-dance and enthusiasm. The lineupincludes motivational speakers andspeakers who will challenge us and per-suade us. Workshops will cover designand diagnostics. If you twitter or tweat,or think you should, there are sessionsto help you sing a stronger song. If youare technologically challenged, we’veprovided a spot for you to learn to incor-porate intstruments into your business-es. And of course, we’ll talk plants—greatones and winter ones, from trees to turf.There is a strong focus on low impactand greener practices, and alternativesto production that might alter your ownbottom line. Time on the trade showfloor is supplemented by ‘meet andgreet’ sessions and of course, the auc-tion.
Let’s make the Green Expo a priorityon the 2010 to do list, and I’ll see you atthe show.
