New Mid-Atlantic
Chapter gains
momentum
A group of national members is working
to re-establish an affi liated chapter of STMA
in the Mid-Atlantic region. Originally estab-
lished in 1991 as the Chesapeake Chapter
of the STMA, it went through several name
changes and periods of activity and inactivity,
before offi cially closing in 2011.
Led by an eight-person steering commit-
tee, the newly forming Mid-Atlantic Sports
Turf Managers Association (MASTMA) has
created a mission, scheduled an inaugural
fi eld day, and established a website. Those
leading the chapter's formation are: Nicole
Andrews, Matrax, Inc.; Patrick Coakley,
CSFM, Ripken Baseball; Don Follett, Bal-
timore Ravens; Heather Johannes, Howard
County Parks Operations Division; Jason
Kopp, Turf Equipment Supply Company;
Dr. Ken Mathias, University of Maryland;
Nicole McFadyen, Baltimore Orioles; Jerad
Minnick, Growing Innovations; Michael
Stachowicz, National Park Service; and Dr.
Thomas Turner, University of Maryland.
The committee has been also working with
STMA to spread the word about MASTMA
to national and former chapter members
located in Maryland, Washington DC, Dela-
ware, and West Virginia.
MISSION STATEMENT
This mission statement was offi cially
adopted during the steering committee's
second meeting: "The STMA Mid-Atlantic
Chapter promotes the profession of sports
fi eld management via a nurturing environ-
ment consisting of education, innovation,
mentoring, and networking."
The fi rst meeting of the Chapter will take
place Tuesday, October 25, at M&T Bank
Stadium in Baltimore. Those interested
in fi nding out more information about the
chapter and the event, please contact Nicole
Andrews, nandrews@matraxinc.com, visit
the website, www.mastma.org and follow
them on Twitter, @MidAtlanticSTMA.
