On July 15th, 2024, the MRTF hosted a reception to honor this year’s Award of Achievement winners: Joe Becovitz, Cliff Sadof, and David Riedman (posthumous) at Walt’s Pub and Grill in West Lafayette, IN. The MRTF Award of Achievement, established in 2005, was created to honor those who unselfishly have given to the Midwest Regional Turf Foundation, the turf industry, and/or the Purdue University Turf Program. The award recognizes those who have made a significant contribution to improving the turfgrass industry in Indiana while also demonstrating high standards of professional and personal conduct. Congratulations to this year’s winners!
