BISHOP JOINS NALP AS DIRECTOR OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION


O


n June 1, Rex Bishop, an award-winning horticulture educator, joined the National Association of Land- scape Professionals as its first-ever Director of Technical Education.


Bishop is known to many in the industry for his volun- teer work with the National Collegiate Landscape Com- petition and his commitment to workforce and education issues through NALP. Bishop worked in the nursery industry before teaching horticultural and landscaping at the college level for more than 25 years, most recently serving as the Vice President for Economic Development at Chattahoochee Technical College. He has an MBA from Kennesaw State University. “We are so pleased to bring on Rex in the newly cre- ated technical education position at NALP,” NALP CEO Sabeena Hickman, CAE, said. “We are committed to deliv- ering the best education and best practices to members, and Rex will be a huge asset in reviewing our education,


resources and certification training and helping to cre- ating new offerings.” Bishop will also work with the workforce devel- opment team, including industry veteran Jenn Myers, who was hired in March to anchor that initiative. “Rex will be a huge asset to our workforce develop- ment initiative, and he will also act as technical expert for the association, support-


ing our media relations and advocacy efforts, providing technical information to the media and commenting on proposed rules and regulations,” Hickman said. 7
