Since TERRA was chartered, it has held four state conferences, built the membership to over 100 individuals and organizations, held regular regional dinner meetings, provided member and conference scholarships to college students interested in the field of labor relations, and maintained a speakers list of Tennessee-based experts who have volunteered to speak to community groups.  The chapter established the Roger Goode Memorial, providing a student with annual membership in the chapter. TERRA implemented its Industrial and Labor Relations News, Data and Resource E-mail Service which notifies members of and provides easy access to relevant federal agency reports, useful web sites, book reviews and labor and employment data base information. This service uses TERRA’s greatest resource, their member’s knowledge, experience and contacts, to network and share information using technology. The chapter publishes a membership directory.
