摘要

Tom Golon, president of Wonderland Tree Care, Inc. in Oyster Bay, N.Y., was installed as chairman of the TCIA Board of Directors at the board's meeting during Winter Management Conference in St. Kitts. Golon was first elected to TCIA's board in 1997,when TCIA was known as the National Arborist Association (NAA). Golon founded his company in 1979, and through the years it has grown into a thriving business with 12 employees. While attending Oyster Bay High School he did tree work on some of the estates in the area during the summer, but tree care was not his career goal. "When I went to college I thought about a career in engineering or maybe getting a degree in landscape architecture," says Golon "I earned a degree in automotive engineering and went to work for General Motors."
