The TASA officers and executive director sent a letter in June 2020 to all members regarding the issues of racism, equity, and diversity. The officers then met with a steering committee composed of representatives of other educational organizations to get their input on what actions TASA should take. As a result of that input, and as stated in the letter, TASA President Brian Woods appointed a TASA Committee on Race, Equity, and Diversity that is working in three areas:

1. What can TASA do to support and nurture an inclusive environment for all members?
2. What services can be offered and resources provided for schools that are interested in doing this work?
3. In what ways can superintendents and boards work together to address these issues should they so choose?
