LAKEWOOD, Colo. — If you have never attended CNGA’s popular Horticulture Leadership Retreat (formerly the Owners and Managers meeting) because you didn’t have the time or the travel/lodging budget, then consider those reasons off the table. This year you can attend from your office, home or mobile location. That’s because this meeting, like so many others during these Covid times, is a virtual one using the Zoom platform.
But there’s another really important reason why you should attend – you can watch any session you miss at a later date, talk about convenience! All registered participants will have access to the entire program for 60 days, including Dr. Hall’s presentation as well as other program speakers and breakout room discussions.
Listening to Charlie Hall is always time well spent. He is a renowned economics expert who specializes in the green industry, including innovative management and marketing strategies, financial analysis, and the situation/outlook for nursery and greenhouse crops. His presentation will provide his economic forecast for 2021, discuss the impacts of election results and offer a look at key economic factors that may shape the year ahead.
Dr. Hall has spent his distinguished career helping green industry businesses be more profitable and currently serves as chief economist for AmericanHort and co-chair of the advisory council of Seed Your Future.
This is a very useful event for owners, managers and mid-level staff to hear green industry specific presentations that provide information for your strategic plan and future of your organization.
