Meet Our Board of Directors
Through the conservative approach of the National Horticulture (NHF) Board of Directors, the green industry will continue to reap the rewards of their efforts. The goal of NHF is to organize concentrated programs that address specific problems affecting green industry and related segments. With sufficient funding from a large base of contributors, the board’s efforts attract the most skilled researchers, dedicated educators and promising students.
Over the years, while the foundation’s focus has broadened its reach to new audiences, it remains focused on the importance of research and education as primary objective.
