May 2022 Officer Email

Hi Officers,


Welcome new and returning officers! 


It was wonderful to meet so many of you in person at TLA 2022 last week! I hope you had a great conference experience and enjoyed your time in Fort Worth. This month, introduce yourself to the other members of your unit in a TLA Engage post. 


Review the official officer roster for your group and submit any changes or updates to me by the end of the month. View the officer roster by logging into your Members Only account with your email address and password, then click on “Officer Search-Includes Committee Rosters,” choose your unit or committee and review the members listed. 


Things to expect this month:

  • Access granted to the Google Drive for your unit
  • Executive Board liaison assigned to your unit
  • TLA Staff liaison assigned to your unit
  • Chairs and web administrators gain access to their web pages


Chairs, please review who has access to your Google Drive and remove any former officers or members that no longer need access. 


Information on the Annual Assembly will be shared soon. Please plan to attend this important officer training event in Austin, July 6- 8.


Remember! The TALL Texans application closes on May 15.  And there is still time to register for TLA Summit, a one-day, virtual event on June 2. (More information below.)


Join me on Zoom this Thursday, May 5, at 3:30pm for Officer Office Hours
