Welcome to TASFAA's new website!

Delisa Falks Hello TASFAA Members,

I want to welcome you to the new TASFAA website.

TASFAA's new web platform allows for increased functionality!

Board members, committee chairs/vice chairs and members will be able to update items on the website very quickly! Upload and store meeting minutes, notes, and other files to be shared within your committee! Messages shared within a committee are archived - no longer having to search your own email client to locate a message about committee activity!

The new TASFAA site also has a comprehensive calendar so that all TASFAA-related events can easily be viewed.

Here a few other features that I believe you will be pleased with:

TASFAA members will be able to interact with your TASFAA colleagues via the website through forums, and members can also create their own circles which are social connections available to everyone, AND all members can use internal messaging (up to 30/day) to communicate with fellow members! This new website is no longer just a place to find information about the association, but is a place to engage with your colleagues!

PLUS! Our new Blog will be integrated in the site, and will be easy to find!

Kevin Armalay, Web Service Chair has been VERY busy setting up our new website. Please join me in thanking Kevin for all his hard work! If you have feedback for the site (bug reports, enhancement requests), please fill out this form, and our Web Services Committee will take care of it!

More information to come soon to ALL TASFAA members regarding the new website.

Sincerely,

Delisa Falks

2018-2019 TASFAA President
