Trenholm honored with Turfgrass Educator Award of Excellence
Laurie Trenholm, an associate professor of turfgrass science, has been awarded the first ever Turfgrass Educator Award of Excellence from Turfgrass Producers International (TPI).
TPI is a 40-year-old, not-for-profit association comprised of more than 1,100 turfgrass sod producers, equipment manufacturers, suppliers and other professionals involved in related education and research.
In a written statement, TPI’s executive director Kirk Hunter said that Trenholm received the award because of her efforts to educate consumers, turfgrass producers, lawn care professionals and government decision-makers.
Trenholm is one of a select group of turfgrass specialists from around the country who meet with TPI annually to address topics such as advancements in research and environmental concerns.
“I certainly appreciate the Turfgrass Producers International for this honor, and I am proud to be a member of TPI’s Extension Specialist and Public Relations Working Group,” Trenholm said. “It’s a great pleasure to work with the sod growers and other members of the turfgrass industry here in Florida as we work to promote sound environmental practices related to turfgrass production and maintenance.”
