Hello MLP members and fellow MCLPs ,
PAST CHAIR
Jenny Sherman Tonsig , MCLP NatureWorks Landscape Services , Inc . • Walpole , MA
Spring is in full swing ! We hope that you and your teams made it through the winter healthy and safe and are excited for another season . As we gear up to tackle new challenges brought on by our busiest time of year , remember that MLP is here to support every one of you .
The MCLP Committee is happy to announce that we had a successful first exam of the year on March 4th and will be welcoming three new MCLPs to our ranks . The committee is also pleased to share that we have a new volunteer on our team — Mike Landry , mclp of Riverside Services . Mike had a chance to get oriented to the exam process in March and we look forward to working with him !
MCLP certification is a respected credential held by industry leaders . We want to see the number of MCLPs in our industry grow ! To that end , we have three exams on this year ’ s schedule . The next exam will be on August 5th . We encourage those interested in taking the test to sign up as soon as possible , as seating is limited . Also remember that you can retest on just one half of the exam if you are not successful with both ID and multiple choice on your first attempt . Give the exam a try in August if you ’ re curious !
Save the Date !
We are looking for more volunteers for the MCLP Committee ! Interested ? Contact Carrie at the MLP Office !
