PROCLAMATION
“NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK”
May 18 - 24, 2013
WHEREAS,
National Safe Boating Week is part of the North American Safe Boating
Campaign, which unites the efforts of a wide variety of boating safety advocates, including
the United States Coast Guard, the National Association of State Boating Law
Administrators, and the National Safe Boating Council; and
WHEREAS,
on average, 700 people die each year in boat-related accidents in the U.S.;
approximately 70% of these are fatalities caused by drowning; and
WHEREAS,
the vast majority of these accidents are caused by human error or poor
judgment and not by the boat, equipment, or environmental factors; and
WHEREAS,
a significant number of boaters who lose their lives by drowning each year
would be alive today had they worn their life jackets; and
WHEREAS,
today’s life jackets are more comfortable, more attractive, and more wearable
than styles of years past and deserve a fresh look by today’s boating public.
NOW, THEREFORE,I,
Arlene A. Juracek, Mayor of the Village of Mount Prospect, do
hereby proclaim the week of May 18-24, 2013 as
“NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK”
in the Village of Mount Prospect, and I urge all residents who participate in boating related
activities to practice safe boating habits and to wear life jackets; as they can be the difference
between life and death.

Village of Mount Prospect, Illinois
To whom it may concern,
Established in 1938 as the National Arborist Association, today's Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) is
a trade association of more than 2,200 commercial tree care firms and affiliated companies.
Our mission is to advance tree care businesses.
The "Advancing Arboriculture Award" was created as a partner to the "Legislator of the Year Award" to
provide TCIA with another avenue to recognize support for our issues beyond an award from our
political action committee. The Advancing Arboriculture Award is another mechanism for TCIA to say
"thank you" to governmental agencies, regulators and other allies.
The award is given to a governmental agency, institution or green industry partner, that has worked to
advance legislation, regulation or practices favorable to the tree care industry.
This year's winner of the "Advancing Arboriculture Award" is Sandra Clark of the Village of Mount
Prospect, Illinois.
She initiated the first innovative tree risk management program to increase public safety while still
preserving as many older trees as possible. She directed an intensive tree disease /insect control effort,
drastically reducing the annual elm loss rate.
Mount Prospect's bid documents for tree maintenance are very thorough. They focus on
professionalism, including TCIA Accreditation. Many municipal foresters follow her lead when writing
these documents. As Forester, she manages nearly 25,000 street trees and 42 acres of public grounds.
Sandra is a longtime member of the ISA, a certified arborist since 1990 and municipal specialist since
2008. She is an asset to her community, state and to the tree care industry for her many years of
dedicated service.
Forester... mentor ... leader ... creator... researcher... defender of trees for more than 30 years. Sandra Clark
represents a worthy recipient of TCIA's Advancing Arboriculture Award. TCIA is pleased to present this
award to her for a job well done.
Sincerely,
Robert Rouse MS
