Advocacy Committee
Members of the TASA Advocacy Committee develop recommendations for the Executive Committee and staff designed to empower the TASA membership to advocate for the needs of Texas public education—whether specific or general—with a unified voice, including effective strategies for communicating with TASA members, elected officials, the media, and the public. Members serve two-year, staggered terms. See a list of all TASA committees.
