Congratulations to the 2023 recipients of the revamped TSAE awards!

TSAE has worked to create and adopt a formal strategic plan to assist our volunteer leadership and staff going into the next 3 – 5 years. Now in its second year, the plan is designed to steer our association toward a brighter and more impactful future.
