TNLA Endorsed Companies

What is an Endorsed Services vendor?

As a service to TNLA Members and the Green Industry as a whole, TNLA endorses certain suppliers as being of especially high quality and value. The intent of this program is to help take some of the guesswork out of complex business services purchase decisions for our members. Endorsed Service Companies work closely with TNLA to let the Green Industry know about their services.

TNLA carefully evaluates Endorsed Service Applicants to make sure they are worthy of the Endorsed Service title. Emphasis is placed on the companies reputation for quality and value, dedication to the Green Industry, and enthusiasm for working closely with the association.

Endorsed Service applicants are asked to prepare an in-depth proposal that addresses a number of key factors. These proposals are carefully evaluated and then discussed by a task force composed of some of TNLA’s most insightful business owners and managers. If the task force sees fit, they recommend the endorsement to TNLA’s board of directors for approval.

Please address your comments regarding the endorsed service task force to info@tnlaonline.org. If you are interested in becoming endorsed, Click here to preview the proposal form.

TNLA recently completed a member survey regarding its endorsed service program. To view the complete results of that survey, please click here.
