         TOOLS TO ENHANCE LEADERSHIP AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE FOCUS OF
                                                 PLANET’S 2008 EXECUTIVE FORUM

HERNDON, Va., January 4, 2008
— All green industry company owners, managers, and their families who plan to attend the Professional Landcare Network’s (PLANET’s) 2008 Executive Forum, February 14–17 at the Radisson Fort McDowell Resort & Casino in Scottsdale, Arizona, are encouraged to take advantage of the early-bird registration of January 16, 2008. By doing so, they will not only enjoy significant savings on the cost of registration and earn the chance to win a gift certificate to the Amethyst Spa at the Radisson, but they will also guarantee their spot at the forum. The focus of this year’s forum, entitled “The Power to Perform for the Successful Executive,” will be on providing executives with new tools to improve their leadership skills and business performance.

There’s something for everyone who attends this three-day event. The 2008 forum kicks off with a golf tournament, sponsored by CNA, at the Scott Miller-designed Eagle Mountain Golf Club, in the rugged McDowell Mountains of Fountain Hills. David Zerfoss, president of Husqvarna, will deliver the keynote presentation on executive wellness, coaching, and creating a peak-performance company culture. Husqvarna, a global leader in outdoor power products, is the 2008 Executive Forum Strategic Partner.

Spouses or guests of attendees can choose to participate in the entire forum experience, including an optional behind-the-scenes tour — sponsored by Ewing Irrigation and Hunter Industries — of either the AridScape Concepts, Inc., corporate headquarters or the University of Phoenix Stadium. Or, they may choose to simply enjoy the traditional social activities, such as the spouse/guest brunch or a day at Nordstrom to be renewed and refreshed, and evening receptions each night.
