I joined PLANT WNY for the business networking. Having a small landscape firm years ago, I needed to know my suppliers and subcontractors and my involvement in this association gave me that opportunity. PLANT WNY directly helped me get the job I now have with Buffalo State College. A member approached me and asked if I'd be interested in interviewing for an opening. I've been at Buffalo State College for 10 years.S. Sypniewski, Lifetime CNLP, Buffalo State College
I joined PLANT WNY in desire of being part of a friendly, professional community with like-minded goals. I wanted to stay in the loop of things and have access to educational opportunities. I have met so many wonderful people in the industry, that I now consider to be lifelong friends.J. Mariea, CNLP, Garden Escapes
