Nominations are open until September 13th!

Earlier this summer, you were asked to help shape the future of TACUSPA by voting on proposed changes to our Board of Directors structure. Our membership approved those amendments, creating four distinct leadership positions:

• Vice President of Membership
• Vice President of Marketing
• Vice President of Education
• Vice President of Research

Now, we need members who are ready to step forward and help bring this new structure to life!

These positions provide an opportunity to serve our association, expand your professional network, develop your leadership skills, and have a direct role in shaping the programs, resources, research, and connections TACUSPA provides to student affairs professionals across Texas.

Whether you have been involved with TACUSPA for years or are looking for a new way to become engaged, we encourage you to consider applying. You do not have to wait until you feel like you have checked every box, our association is strongest when members with different experiences, institutions, perspectives, and areas of expertise are willing to contribute.

If you have ever thought about getting more involved with TACUSPA, this is a great opportunity to do so.

Submit your nomination here!
