\nApril 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we head into a new season, I\u2019m excited to launch this new monthly email series designed to keep you connected with the pulse of our Association. While our quarterly newsletter \u2014 the first of which will be landing in your inboxes this May \u2014 remains packed with industry updates and in-depth content, these shorter monthly notes will give us a chance to share timely reminders, highlight upcoming educational events, and keep you up to speed on NH Certified schedules.<\/p>\n

Spring is here \u2014 and with it, the start of another busy season. I know many of you are already knee-deep in prepping equipment, training crews, and planning for the weeks ahead. Whether you’re just shaking off the winter or already booked solid, I hope this message gives you a quick moment to pause and reconnect with the bigger picture.<\/p>\n

This year, NHLA is focused on expanding professional development opportunities, strengthening industry partnerships, and supporting your businesses through advocacy and education. There\u2019s a lot in motion, and I\u2019ll be sharing updates each month so you\u2019re never out of the loop.<\/p>\n

Thanks for all you do to make New Hampshire greener, healthier, and more beautiful \u2014 one project at a time. Here’s to a strong start to the season! Be sure to check out the upcoming events listed below.<\/p>\n

See you out there,
\nAndrew Pelkey, President, NHLA<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
