25 March/April 2018 | THE DAVEY BULLETIN Richard Rathjens received the President's Award from the Ohio chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture. The award is bestowed at the discretion of the group's current president for "services deemed significant and substantial to the president during his term of office," which, in Rathjens' case, involved strengthening connections with other organizations with missions similar to the Ohio chapter of the ISA. Rathjens is a technical advisor with the Davey Institute. Congrats, Rich!

"It means a lot to be recognized," Mikulanis said. "But, I'm even happier about the projects we completed and the momentum we are gaining as an organization to not only add to our local tree canopy, but educate the public about the importance of trees." Congratulations, Vince! IN THE SPOTLIGHT Sandra Harbrecht, president and CEO of Paul Werth Associates, was named CEO of the year by Columbus CEO magazine in the small, for-profit category for 2017.
