BEACON AWARD

The Beacon Award is the highest honor the Massachusetts Association of Landscape Professionals bestows on a member of the association. It is given to a person whose actions serve as a guide and a challenge to other members in the landscape contracting profession.

Guidelines

MLP members are encouraged to nominate colleagues for Beacon award consideration.  Please write a letter to the MLP board of directors with the name of your nominee and include the reasons why you believe he/she should receive the Beacon award.  Take the award’s purpose and title into consideration when crafting your nomination letter.  Be specific, cite examples, include details and, if possible, ask for letters of support for your nominee from other members.  

Nomination letters may be sent via regular mail or e-mail to:

Beacon Award  - MLP Board of Directors, 67 West Street, Medfield, MA  02052
info@mlp-mclp.org (“Beacon Award” in Subject Line please)

Deadline for submission of Beacon nominees & letters of support is September 15 for award the following spring.  Beacon recipients are selected by December each year and are announced at the annual meeting.  The award presentation typically occurs in April.


Congratulations to the 2023 Beacon Award Recipient, Brian Paige, MCLP!
