Association Mission and other Organizational Background Documents History The Minnesota Nursery & Landscape Association is the state's oldest and largest green industry trade organization. Started in 1925 as the Minnesota Nurserymen's Association, today MNLA represents and serves nursery and greenhouse growers, garden centers, irrigation contractors, industry suppliers, and a wide range of landscape professionals. The association aims to help these members operate their businesses more successfully by providing education, networking, legislative and regulatory representation, public relations, and financial benefits through group purchasing and other member services. Structure and Governance The Association is governed by its Board of Directors which includes four officers (president, vice president, secretary-treasurer, and the immediate past president) and five at-large directors, all of whom are elected by Association members. The Association has 6 committees, which develop many of its programs, and numerous networking groups where industry issues are discussed, mutually beneficial relationships are formed, and input is gleaned for MNLA's educational, government affairs, and professional development programs.
