Greenhouse Management and Nursery Management are pleased to begin accepting nominations for the 2017 Horticultural Industries Leadership Awards (HILA). HILA, sponsored by Syngenta, is the only national awards program to honor leaders from the greenhouse and nursery industries. Six award winners will be honored in these industry sectors in North America.
HILA recipients will have made significant contributions to the horticulture industry, such as:
- contributing to its development with their innovation and expertise
- excelling in environmental stewardship
- enhancing the lives of employees, customers, communities and the industry at large with their charitable giving
- otherwise making a positive impact on the industry
"The HILAs are an exciting opportunity for us to shed light on those extraordinary individuals who make a difference in their operation, the horticulture industry and their community,” says group publisher Jim Gilbride. “We’re grateful to Syngenta for partnering with us to bring this prestigious awards program to the industry.”
The winners will be awarded during the HILA reception at Cultivate’17 in Columbus, Ohio, on Sunday, July 16, 2017. The deadline for nominations is April 1, 2017 and can be submitted at www.GreenhouseMag.com/hila and www.NurseryMag.com/hila.
