WHAT TO KNOW NEW MEMBERSHIP CLASSIFICATIONS INTRODUCED
The TPI Board of Trustees recently approved new membership classifications for supplier members. The classifications were designed to create opportunities for more individuals from a supplier company to receive printed copies of Turf News and other member benefits. In addition, suppliers choosing one of the expanded classification levels will be able to list more of their representatives in the membership directory, thus enabling producer members to more easily identify a product supplier in their area or region. If you have questions about, or are interested in enrolling in, one of the new expanded classifications, please contact Karen Cooper at 847-737-7631 or Casey Reynolds at 847-737-1846.
