Associate Membership
Eligibility
Associate Membership is designed for individuals, companies, and organizations that provide products or services to Texas public schools and want to build meaningful relationships with the state’s education leaders.
School district, education service center, university and state agency personnel are not eligible for Associate Membership and should join in the College + University + State Agency membership category.
How Associate Membership Helps You
Build Relationships with Texas School Leaders
Connect directly with superintendents and other district leaders at TASA conferences and other events. These opportunities help you better understand district needs, strengthen professional relationships, and position your organization as a trusted partner in Texas public education.
Associate Members receive discounted registration for eligible professional learning experiences and may purchase exhibit space at major events, including the TASA Midwinter Conference — the largest annual gathering of Texas school leaders — and txEDCON, the annual the TASA/TASB Convention.
Better Understand the Issues Affecting Texas Public Schools
Stay informed about the challenges, priorities, and policy decisions shaping public education so you can better serve school districts and communicate with education leaders.
Associate Members receive TASA Daily, Capitol Watch Alerts, Advocacy Advisory emails, legislative bill summaries, INSIGHT professional journal, Texas School Business magazine, and other timely resources.
Expand Your Visibility Within the TASA Community
Help TASA members learn more about your organization and the services you provide. Your organization will be listed in the Associate Member Directory, identifying you as a supporter of TASA and Texas public education.
You will also have access to TASA’s digital membership directories, which provide current contact information for members across the state.
Reach a Statewide Audience of Education Decision-Makers
Promote your organization through advertising opportunities in INSIGHT and Texas School Business magazine, both of which reach school leaders and public education stakeholders across Texas.
