MNLA has launched its newly revised, eco-friendly
Green Industry Star module certification program.
The MLNA Board of Directors is very excited about the association’s efforts in assisting the industry to identify green industry professionals. “It makes
managers’ and owners’ jobs easier when hiring staff, recognizing an employee’s
abilities, and building achievement-based incentive programs with an educational
platform,” says MaryAnn Fink, environmental horticulture project advisor/ MLNA certification committee member.
The objectives of the program are to:
• Raise the standards of the green industry’s professional
horticulturist in the state of Missouri.
• Assist the public in identifying certified green industry
horticulture professionals who have been tested on
basic principles of horticulture, environmental stewardship
ideals and best management practices as they
apply to the state of Missouri.
• Improve performance within the profession by
encouraging participation in a continuing program of
professional development.
The program has five separate stand-alone modules,
including one on business management. MNLA’s certification
comprises of both the MLNA and a university based
general knowledge test, and PLANET’s Certified
Landscape Professional (CLP) certification. CLPs can
now become Green Industry Business Stars.
“As members of PLANET, we have benefited from belonging to such a professional-oriented national and international organization,” notes MLNA member MaryAnn Fink. “MLNA wants to continue that support by encouraging green industry professionals to participate in both the PLANET certification program and the MNLA Green Industry Star program.” She concludes, “Please encourage all green industry members to be professionally involved in their associations, their communities, and the future of our industry!”
