John Baize, Director of Act Global, Re-Elected as Chairman of the Board.
The Synthetic Turf Council presented its newly elected Board of Directors at their 10th Anniversary Membership Meeting in Orlando, FL. John Baize, Managing Director at Act Global, was unanimously re-elected as Chairman of the Board for a second one-year term. Other Board officers include Vice Chairman Robert Thomas, President of ProGrass LLC; Secretary Davis Lee, Principal of InnovaNet Group; Treasurer Jake Alexander, Sales Director-Eastern U.S at Genan Inc.; Director-at-Large Alastair Cox, Director of Labosport International; and Immediate Past Chairman John B. Giraud, Managing Director of Target Technologies International Inc.
“Our Board plays an extremely active role in shaping the strategic direction of the Council,” explains Rick Doyle, President of the Synthetic Turf Council (STC). “The STC relies on its Board and many committee volunteers to create and help implement action initiatives for each of the many applications for which synthetic turf is a solution – landscape, playgrounds, golf, sports fields, airports, dog parks, and others. Chairman John Baize’s contributions over the past year and his commitment to the STC are well-known, and I’m confident the STC will continue to grow and serve the industry under his leadership.”
The meeting attracted 215 industry leaders including manufacturers, suppliers, installers, landscape architects and engineers, testing labs, and maintenance equipment and service companies. In addition to electing a new Board, the conference featured a “Whistle-stop” Seminar on synthetic grass for landscape and recreation, a comprehensive educational program, expanded Exhibitor Showcase, interactive work group sessions and a discussion on removal, recovery, reuse and recycling of synthetic turf.
