A Perfect Fit
Thank You, 25+ Year Members!
DO YOU WORK PART-TIME on sports
fields or supervise someone who does?
Perhaps you are a coach or a parent who
helps to care for a sports field? These and
others who are indirectly involved in
sports turf management can join STMA
as an Affiliate member.
Affiliate membership costs $50 and
provides all of the benefits entitled to a
sports turf manager member, except that
there are no voting privileges. This category is also ineligible to serve on the national Board of Directors.
An Affiliate member has access to the
many educational resources that can
help with field safety for athletes. The
STMA website has resources available
when you need them. Members find information on virtually every topic that is
important to sports turf management
from specific calendars for field management practices by season to how to communicate with your community field
providers.
For information on how to join, go to
www.STMA.org and click on Join Now, or
fill out the application in this issue.
STMA is very pleased to recognize its long-time members. We are fortunate to have their continued support and involvement in the association. They are an
important part of STMA's history and have helped to
shepherd the association on its journey for the past
25+ years!
