Call for TASFAA Volunteers
By June Hagler, TASFAA Vice-President

TASFAA needs your help this year. There are still a few committees who need assistance; however, it will not be long before next year’s committee chairs will be looking for help too. Please complete the TASFAA Volunteer form by clicking here.

You can see all the committees’ descriptions by clicking here.

You never know where this small commitment will take you. I started by volunteering at a conference registration desk and making decorations for banquet tables—here I am Vice President of TASFAA. Volunteering is a great way to meet wonderful folks who believe in helping students achieve their dreams the same way you do.

If you feel you have volunteered and volunteered and never been called to help, please contact me directly so I can find a place for your special skills.
