The Green Awards Committee was privileged to get an in depth look at several excellent MRTF member facilities. Although several of these were quite impressive, only two emerged as winners in their particular industry category:
Lawn care/landscape division
Minnetrista of Muncie, Indiana – Steve Scott, grounds manager
Athletic field division
Holland Park Sports Complex of Fishers, Indiana – Shawn Martz, complex manager
The winning submissions can be found on the website, www.mrtf.org
The submission webpage for this year’s Green Awards will be open soon to accept applicants in the golf, lawn care/landscape and athletic field divisions. You can self-nominate, or nominate a peer facility that you feel deserves such recognition. It could be your facility that is being honored next year at this time.
