The North American Green Industry is made up of companies in all 50 states plus Canada and other countries. Whether large or small, family owned or corporate, those companies rely on interaction with others, and thrive on the strength in numbers that can only come from participating in trade groups. In this issue, we explore those interactions and benefits, and look at how trade groups are adapting to societal change.

In this issue:

  • Finding your way: Green industry professionals and the businesses they serve can thrive by cultivating strong relationships.
  • Measuring return on investment: OAN member benefits are designed to save members money and improve business outcomes.
  • Green Industry Networking Calendar 2018 Post this magazine spread to the wall of your work space to as a reminder for opportunities to connect with the industry, build your network and pursue your business success.
  • Trade groups adapt to a changing landscape: Nonprofit nursery associations continually adapt to help their members succeed.
