Chapter Sponsors
STMA's chapter sponsors help contribute to the success and
viability of the association's 33 affiliated chapters. Due to
the longtime support of Hunter Industries and John Deere,
STMA has been able to provide funding to help its chapters
deliver strong educational programs and grow membership.
In 2014, Aquatrols and Turface joined the chapter network.
Their support enabled STMA to award tens of thousands of
dollars to improve our chapter network. These funds were
used to bring in high quality speakers for chapter events,
improve communications for chapter members by helping to
subsidize the printing of chapter newsletters and promotional
materials, and finance the development of chapter websites.
Our newest sponsor, Pioneer Athletics, joined the chap-
ter network in early 2015. According to Pioneer president
Doug Schattinger supporting STMA chapters' initiatives
helps to strengthen the entire industry. "Pioneer realizes that
all agronomy is local and that belonging to an STMA chapter
helps sports field managers do their jobs better. Individuals
managing fields to their best ability helps advance everyone
in the profession," says Schattinger.
In addition to ground level funding for chapter advance-
ment, funding from our sponsors helps to support the
Chapter Officers' Training program, which is held annually
during the STMA conference, provides important support
for event liability and directors and officers liability insur-
ance, makes possible the availability and enhancement of
chapter booths and materials to help chapters grow mem-
bership.
Sponsors are committed to chapters' success
