Membership Committee

The Tennessee TSA Membership Committee supports the development and growth of strong, engaged TSA chapters across the state. This committee ensures that the State Officer Team remains informed on membership initiatives and chapter progress, while also advising on strategies to expand chapter involvement. Throughout the year, the committee develops resources to assist local chapters, provides outreach to chapters with specific needs, and works to establish TSA programs in schools without an existing presence. Their efforts help increase access to TSA opportunities and prepare more chapters to participate in state and national events.
