Ken Almstead named an ISA “True Professional of Arboriculture”

Almstead CEO, Ken Almstead, has been named a “2017 True Professional of Arboriculture™” by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). He is one of five arborists selected in 2017 as an ISA “True Professional.”

“Ken leads by example,” said Michelle Mitchell, ISA board president. “He not only believes in community outreach for himself, but encourages all of the Almstead arborists to contribute and give back to each community they serve. Educating the public about trees and tree care is crucial to the future of arboriculture.”

Though he holds several awards, credentials and memberships in professional organizations, Ken feels very honored to be selected as an ISA True Professional. “I am truly humbled that I was even considered, let alone awarded this recognition,” he remarked. “Knowing the contributions and accomplishments of past fellow recipients, I will strive to uphold this honor and distinction.”
