The Motz Group’s National Sales Manager, Shaun Garrity, was announced as Chairman of the 2022-2023 Board of Directors of the Synthetic Turf Council. Shaun has served on the board for three years as a director and treasurer. Shaun Garrity’s new position as Chairman is an exciting opportunity to provide more of his leadership to the Synthetic Turf Council and be surrounded by other knowledgeable members of the board who all contribute significantly to the organization and the industry.

The Synthetic Turf Council (STC), an organization that serves as the global forum to promote, develop, grow and advocate for the synthetic turf industry, was founded in 2003 as a resource for credible research on the safety and environmental impact of artificial turf. STC membership includes builders, landscape architects, testing labs, maintenance providers, manufacturers, suppliers, installation contractors, infill material suppliers, and other specialty service companies who also provide technical guidance on the selection, installation, maintenance, and environmentally responsible disposal of synthetic turf.

Shaun says, “I am honored to have been chosen to serve the industry in this new role on the Board of Directors of the Synthetic Turf Council. My goal is to promote the industry by highlighting how synthetic turf improves communities, enhances homeowners’ backyards, and ultimately brings people together. Our purpose at Motz is to move people to better lives and I strongly believe that our industry does that every day by connecting communities and friends and encouraging healthy recreation.”
