FROM THE PRESIDENT

Planting 

Time 

in Tennessee 

Ihope you will enjoy this issue of 

our annual Membership Directory 

& Resource Guide. Leading 

Edge Communications, our publisher, 

once again has done an excellent job. 

Please note the changes to the front 

cover. It is the Official Publication 

of the Tennessee Turfgrass Association, 

the Tennessee Valley Sports 

Turf Managers Association (TVS 

TMA) and the Tennessee Golf 

Course Superintendents Association 

(TGCSA). In this issue, you will 

find the membership roster of both 

the TTA and the TVSTMA. We will 

include the TGCSA in our next 

membership directory. 

A list of vendors is also included, 

along with many of their advertisements 

that support the TTA and 

this magazine throughout the year. 

This issue is jam-packed with 

names, phone numbers, event dates 

and even a copy of the bylaws. If we 

can make our magazine better, 

please let us know how. If you 

would like to write an article of 

interest, please let us know. 

We, the board of directors and 

scholarship committee, need your 

help. We have scholarship funds 

available, but no applicants to 

receive them. This summer, while 

you are visiting family and friends, 

will be an excellent time to pass the 

word around. In this issue, you will 

find an application for the Ernest 

Hardison Memorial Scholarship. 

You can also go online at www.tta 

online.org for a copy of this 

TENNESSEE TURFGRASS JUNE/JULY 2008 

application and the Legacy Scholarship. 

Please take a look at each of 

these scholarships and help us help 

the future of our industry. Thanks, 

Shelia, for keeping our website 

looking great. 

This is a note to all board and 

committee members. Due to the 

high cost of travel, we may set up a 

conference call for our summer 

meeting and not travel to Nashville. I 

know this is a board matter, but I 

wanted the membership to know that 

we will always do our best to keep the 

cost of all meetings to a minimum. 

Make sure you set your calendars 

for January 11–13, 2009, for next 

year's annual TTA Conference and 

Trade Show to see the changes. 

Jeremiah 17:8 encourages each 

of us to be like a tree planted by the 

waters. So I encourage each of us to 

be tree planters. However, Kenny 

Perry may disagree. 

In closing, we should encourage 

everyone involved in our industry to 

get on board and become part of 

TTA. We have something great to 

offer. We offer to our members a 

means to become better individuals, 

more professional and highly 

educated in the turfgrass industry. 

This year, we are going to invite 

everyone in the turfgrass industry to 

travel our road. Please help us get 

the word out. I promise that the 

board of directors will do our part.

FROM THE TVSTMA 

Stephen Callis 

Hello, TVSTMA 

members! 

Iam writing this message to you one day after our first meeting of the year. Our West 

TN Field Day in Jackson was great. We had a good crowd of some 35 sports-turf 

managers and vendors. Dr. Totten, Mr. Belles and Dr. Stewart brought excellent 

presentations to the group, and Kenny Franks and his staff were gracious hosts. 

By the time you read this letter, we will already have had our Upper East TN Field Day 

at the University of Tennessee. I am sure that meeting will be a success, also. 

Congratulations to Chris Crockett, who is the newest TVSTMA member to become a 

Certified Sports Field Manager. I believe that brings the total to five in the state who are 

CSFMs. Anyone who is interested in an information packet on becoming a CSFM, just 

let me know. 

I want to make a challenge to all members of TVSTMA. After you've read the newest 

issue of the TTA magazine or the STMA magazine, pass it along to someone that you 

know who doesn't receive it. We all know turf managers in neighboring cities and towns, 

as well as high school coaches and parents whose children are competing in sports, who 

take an interest in having safe, attractive and playable fields. These people may not know 

who or what the TVSTMA is or that it even exists. Anything we can do to promote this 

organization and get more turf managers involved, the better this organization will be 

able to serve its members. 

With that being said I want anyone who has any suggestion or criticisms on things 

related to the TVSTMA, please feel free to give me a call at 888-224-6426 or email me 

at stephen@thehogancompany.us. 

Thank you for your attention in reading this, and I hope to see you at our next meeting. 


TVSTMA President

The Tennessee Valley Sports Turf Managers Association (TVSTMA) is a group of 

people located throughout Northern Alabama, Southern Kentucky and Tennessee. 

This group consists of groundskeepers, park and recreation directors, turfgrass managers, 

maintenance personnel, commercial members and anyone interested in turfgrass and the 

ability to make fields playable and safe. The TVSTMA is the local chapter of the Sports 

Turf Managers Association (STMA), which is a national organization. The TVSTMA is a 

non-profit organization that, through the use of educational and on-field seminars, allows 

members to receive knowledge regarding turfgrass and any subjects that are related to 

athletics. The TVSTMA welcomes any person who wants to gain knowledge about athletic 

fields and how to manage them to make them safe and playable. 

The TVSTMA was formed in 1997 through a collective effort of professional people 

who had a desire to increase the knowledge base about sports fields. Through this 

organization, the TVSTMA chapter was formed, and thus, the chapter became recognized 

on the national level. This chapter has grown from 35 members to over 100 members as of 

2007. With an increasing presence in the communities located throughout the tri-state area, 

and in conjunction with the Tennessee Turfgrass Association, the TVSTMA is a growing 

chapter. We would like to encourage all members to stay actively involved in the field and 

educational seminars.

Corporation Act, as it may be amended from time to time. 

ASSOCIATE NEWS 

ARTICLE X: PROHIBITION AGAINST 

SHARING ASSOCIATION EARNINGS 

No Director, Officer or employee of, or member of a 

committee of, or person connected with the Association, or 

any other private individual shall receive at any time any of 

the net earnings or pecuniary profit from the operation of 

the Association, provided that this shall not prevent the 

payment to any such person reasonable compensation for 

services rendered to or for the Association in effecting any 

of its purposes; and no such person or persons shall be 

entitled to share in the distribution of any corporate assets 

upon the dissolution of the corporation. Upon such 

dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Association, 

whether voluntary or involuntary, the assets of the 

Association after all debts have been satisfied, then the 

remaining in the hands of the Board of Directors shall be 

distributed or transferred in amounts as the Board shall 

determine or as may be determined by a court of competent 

jurisdiction upon application of the Board of Directors, 

exclusively to charitable, scientific or educational

ARTICLE XI: INVESTMENTS 

The Association shall have the right to retain all or any part 

of any securities or property acquired by it in whatever 

manner, and to invest and reinvest any funds held by it, 

according to the judgment of the Board of Directors, without 

being restricted to the class of investments which a Director 

is or may hereafter be permitted by law to make or any 

similar restrictions, provided, however, that no action shall be 

taken by or on behalf of the Association if such action is a 

prohibited transaction or would result in the denial of the tax 

exemption under Section 503 or Section 504 of the Internal 

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and its Regulations as 

they now exist or as they may hereafter be amended. 

ARTICLE XII: EXEMPT ACTIVITIES 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Bylaws, no 

Director, Officer, employee or representative of this 

Association shall take any action or carry on any activity 

by or on behalf of the Association not permitted to be 

taken or carried on by an organization exempt under 

Section 501(c) 3 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as 

amended, and its Regulations as they now exist or as they 

may hereafter be amended, or by an organization 

contributions to which are deductible under Section 

170(c) 2 of such Code and Regulations as they now exist 

or as they may hereafter be amended.
