Message from TASFAA President:
As we navigate this period of transition, I am deeply grateful for the support and encouragement I have received, which reflect the strength, resilience, and unity of our association.
I am pleased to share that our spring training events have been a great success. Nearly 500 members attended Regional Trainings across the state, and 46 participated in the New Aid Officer Workshop. It has been inspiring to see both new and experienced colleagues investing in their growth, building connections, and strengthening our profession--key elements of what makes TASFAA so impactful.
Your Board of Directors met last week for a productive and thoughtful discussion focused on advancing our mission. As a result, we are preparing two proposed amendments to our Constitution and Bylaws to help position TASFAA for the future while remaining grounded in service to our members. In the coming weeks, the Membership Committee will confirm each institution’s designated voting member. Your participation in this process is essential and appreciated.
Here are a few ways to stay engaged:
Regional Training (Central Texas): Our final spring session will be held Friday, April 24.
Board and President Elect Nominations - Submit your Nominations by April 30.
Conference Proposals - NEW Extended Deadline - Submit your proposal for the Fall Conference by May 30.
Award Nominations - Check out the 2025 Award Recipients and a description of each award. Awards are presented at Fall Conference. Who will you nominate?
SWASFAA's Elevate Leadership Roadshow: A full-day event coming to Houston June 2nd featuring three tracks - Leadership Lane, Foundations Boulevard and Certification Freeway.
TASFAA’s strength has always been rooted in its people—our Board, Committee Chairs, Volunteers, Sponsors, and Members. Together, we will continue moving forward, supporting one another and advancing our shared mission of serving students across Texas.
With appreciation,
Melissa Jones
TASFAA President
