UAC board of directors & staff

The Georgia Urban Ag Council, led by its board of directors, will

  • promote our industry,
  • educate our members,
  • offer opportunities for networking and information sharing,
  • serve as a consumer resource,
  • and support the institutions that educate and train our employees.

  • three landscape or lawn care contractors,
  • one sod producer,
  • one irrigation contractor or consultant,
  • one parks/recreation/institutional representative,
  • one representative from the golf/sports field,
  • a nursery/grower representative,
  • and one vendor/supplier representative.
