Mission Statement:
To increase the professional image, technical knowledge, and safety awareness of our equipment technicians by developing an association that is managed and conducted in a responsible and ethical manner.

Purpose:
To open the lines of communication between turf equipment technicians, manufacturers, distributors, and other groups within our industry. Through this, we can provide education in the form of technical seminars, which will help to further enhance our abilities as technicians and expand our knowledge of different products, procedures, and facilities within our industry. This will also enable us to create a forum with manufacturers in which we can exchange comments and feedback with respect to the maintenance and repair of their turf equipment products. Our overall goal is to establish a standard for all turf equipment technicians and increase the industry's knowledge of the value of a properly trained equipment technician.

Goals
• Establish an annual meeting of the association membership.
