Vision for STMA:
These are extraordinary times for the STMA and I would be honored to represent the commercial members during these exciting times. STMA’s professional membership will continue to grow into the foreseeable future; this means there will be unprecedented opportunities for the commercial membership. I will work to ensure this growth will provide equal opportunities for all commercial members, large and small. I will also work to ensure the products and services offered by our commercial members will help our professional members provide better playing surfaces for their constituents in a fair and equitable manner. I will work to make sure all commercial members have opportunities to participate in the growth of our association and will keep them informed of board activities that affect their businesses. Finally, my vision is to provide more avenues for business opportunities with our professional members both at the national level and through STMA chapters.
