President's Letter: Tropical Plant International Expo

TPIE Create Theatre Online ..... VIDEO LIBRARY

I wish to use this space to thank our FNGLA TPIE Committee and our FNGLA staff. Together they did a great job of pivoting the 2021 Tropical Plant International Expo to an online platform. They knew the importance of fostering and continuing connections between FNGLA’s tropical foliage/houseplant growers and buyers. Together, they came up with solutions to enhance those connections. More than 1,100 registered attendees for TPIE online. And, don’t forget, you still have 24/7 access to TPIE’s Exhibitor ListProduct ShowcaseEducational sessionsCreate Theatre Online Presentations and others. For the short amount of time our FNGLA staff team and volunteer member leaders had to reimagine and reinvent TPIE into an alternative on-line event, they did an incredible job! 

Sincerely,

Martin.Hackney.Sig

Martin Hackney 
President 2020-21
