TASFAA Hall of Fame
This year TASFAA honored two members with induction into the TASFAA Hall of Fame. Claire (Micki) Roemer and Richard Duke are the two very deserving recipients of this honor. Micki was nominated under the Service to TASFAA category for the many years of service in the school community as well as The U.S. Department of Education. Richard was nominated in the new Friend of TASFAA category for being the inspiration of the wonderful relationship TASFAA has with its vendor colleagues. Both of these inductees epitomize what TASFAA stands for and represents. Congratulations Micki and Richard.
