Message from the Chairman
On behalf of Al Garver, Melanie Taylor, Dawn James and your entire Board of Directors, we thank you for your membership in the Synthetic Turf Council. When you read this newsletter, you will be reminded of your benefits of STC membership and the many services we provide to help grow the acceptance and demand for synthetic turf in the marketplace and promote quality and best practices to advance the industry.
New Member Benefit: STC has partnered with Delta Community Credit Union, which means all members and their employees nationwide now have access to the same low-cost personal banking benefits as Delta, UPS and Chick-fil-A employees! STC members located in the state of Georgia also have access to a full suite of business banking choices. Stay tuned for additional information in a follow-up bulletin in your e-mail inbox next week.
