SUMMARY:WAA 2nd Annual Youth T-Shirt Design Contest
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce the second year of our Youth T-shirt contest!  We hope all our members will encourage a child between the ages of 8 and 14 years old to submit a drawing.   \n\n\n\nOur 2024 theme will be “Trees of the Future”.  \n\n\n\nHere are the rules: \n\n\n\n\n A child (or children) must simply be sponsored by a WAA member (there is no cost\, but you must be a current member).  The WAA member is responsible for submitting a scan of the drawing (Please keep the original!) to the Editorial Chair at briana@treehealthmgmt.com.\n\n\n\nAn E-Blast will be sent during the third week of July when the contest will be live and announced on our website.\n\n\n\nThe drawing must be in black and white and must be submitted by August 8th\, 2024 by 5:00pm.\n\n\n\nOnly one drawing per child will be accepted.\n\n\n\nA panel of judges will meet on August 14th to select three finalists.

All children’s names will be kept anonymous until a winner has been selected.\n\n\n\nThe winner will need to submit the original drawing via US Post or submit a high-quality digital scan (instructions will be provided).  The drawing will be the new apparel design for WAA clothing in 2025.  Apparel will be available for purchase to membership\, and our winner will receive a choice of a free WAA T-shirt or sweatshirt.\n\n\n\nAll participants will have their drawing showcased in a digital format on the WAA website.\n\n\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:ISA 2024 Annual International Conference
DESCRIPTION:The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) will celebrate 100 years of professionalism this year. Looking back over the years\, seeing how the organization grew is exciting. In 1924\, the first Shade Tree Conference was held in Stamford\, Connecticut\, and opened with about 36 participants from several different states. Today\, our most recent Annual International Conference had approximately 905 attendees from 23 other countries. In 1974\, the first official Tree Trimmer’s Jamboree was held and featured a 40-ft. foot lock and a work climb consisting of three workstations. Now\, the International Tree Climbing Championship features five different events and the best climbers around the globe. In 1992\, the ISA Certified Arborist® program launched\, which not only brought greater recognition for the profession but led to the creation of several other more specialized credentials and qualifications as well. \n\n\n\nISA has grown tremendously over the past 100 years\, and our impact on the profession and the community continues to grow in ways that the first Shade Tree Convention participants may not have imagined. We want to thank our members and credential holders who’ve taken this incredible journey with us as we celebrate our accomplishments. Your support has brought us to this milestone. \n\n\n\nIn August 2023\, ISA began its Road to Centennial Celebration\, a year-long series of events and initiatives. This includes\, among other things\, articles in Arborist News highlighting the organization’s history\, special webinars with industry leaders\, and a commemorative book. We encourage everyone to join us as we celebrate 100 years of professionalism and promote the professional practice of arboriculture. The road to Centennial culminates at the 2024 Annual International Conference\, 12 – 14 August\, in Atlanta\, Georgia\, where we will have a grand celebration and honor the contributions of our members and credential holders. We hope to see you there.
