Recognizing Rising Talent at Hogue
We’re incredibly proud to announce that two of our very own team members, Serenity and Yazayra, have been selected to participate in this year’s TNLA Leadership Bootcamp! Chosen by company leadership for their dedication, work ethic, and commitment to continued growth within the industry, they will represent our entire team at this statewide program.
Following their nominations, Serenity and Yazayra went through a competitive application process. With only 20 spots awarded across the state, being selected is no small achievement. Their selection is a testament to the talent and potential they bring to the landscape industry—and to our company.
Hands-On Training That Builds Real Leaders
TNLA’s Leadership Bootcamp is more than just a seminar—it’s an immersive, hands-on experience tailored specifically to the green industry. From day one, participants dive into real-world leadership training focused on communication, strategic thinking, and people management. Over the course of the program, they’ll complete 30+ hours of intensive leadership development, along with 10+ hours of behind-the-scenes facility tours to see how top landscape professionals run their businesses.
Serenity and Yazayra will also be paired with experienced mentors who understand the unique challenges of the landscape and nursery industry. Throughout the bootcamp, they’ll gain practical tools and personal development strategies they can apply immediately in their day-to-day roles. By the end of the program, they’ll walk away with the confidence and skills to lead teams, solve problems, and contribute to operational success—making them stronger, more reliable assets to Hogue Landscape Services and the industry as a whole.
Our team at Hogue is incredibly proud to send Serenity and Yazayra to such a prestigious program. Being among the few selected across the entire state is a tremendous honor, and a true reflection of their dedication and potential. As they take on this experience, we’re excited to watch them grow within their roles and return with the confidence, skills, and leadership tools to make an even greater impact on our team and the industry. We know they’ll make us proud—both at the bootcamp and in the bright future ahead. At Hogue Landscape Services, we take pride in providing opportunities for all of our employees—opportunities that not only drive our company forward, but also empower each individual to grow into the best version of themselves, both professionally and personally.
