It develops safety and education programs, standards for tree care practice, and management information for arboriculture firms worldwide, with training materials produced by practitioners and tested in the field to ensure relevance. It supports industry professionals through continuing education, conferences, and publications, including TCI Magazine, TCI EXPO, and the Winter Management Conference. It also operates an Accreditation program to help consumers identify tree care providers that meet established standards for quality, safety, professionalism, ethics, and sound business practices. A recent development noted is the 2023 promotion of Amy Tetreault to executive vice president.
