Kelly Gouge has been recognized as person of the year by Rock Mountain Turfgrass Association, GreenCO and most recently by ALCC.
At a March 16 ceremony at Mile High Station, ALCC presented Gouge with the John Garvey Person of the Year Award. As ALCC executive director Kristen Fefes explained, Gouge volunteered more than six hours of his time every week for legislative and advocacy efforts and as president of the organization’s board of directors.
“If you do the math, those volunteer hours are the equivalent of losing 12 weeks of productivity from your schedule over 18 months. That’s a lot of lost time when you’re in a leadership position within a landscape company,” Fefes said. “Fortunately for him, his company [Swingle Tree, Lawn, & Landscape Care] supported him and valued his service to the industry.”
