Based on the Interactive Work Group Sessions at the 2013 Annual Membership Meeting in Orlando, STC committees and task forces have developed a number of strategic goals and action items to be achieved in 2014.
Meeting once a month by conference call, the STC Committees and Task Forces leverage the functional expertise of almost 100 members to enhance the STC’s programs and services. If you are interested in joining a committee or task force, please contact the STC office headquarters at (678) 385-6720 or office@syntheticturfcouncil.org.
