Students you may be interested in attending the upcoming MAC-ISA Annual Meeting Trade Show on Oct 5-7 at Turf Valley Resort in Ellicott City, MD.
Every year MAC-ISA awards full scholarships to college students to attend this educational conference for tree care professionals. Scholarships cover the registration fee and up to 2 nights of lodging for eligible students. Applicants must be a current chapter member (it is free, but students need to sign up for membership online) and be currently enrolled in an arboriculture, urban forestry, horticulture or related program.
At the Annual Meeting, students are paired with mentors who will provide guidance regarding careers in their area of interest and introduce them to other professionals in the field. It is a great networking experience and the chance to attend two full days of educational sessions, workshops and demonstrations. For your information I have attached a copy of the draft program/schedule.
