Texas State Association of Parliamentarians

Are you ready to step outside the box and dream beyond possibilities? Do you believe that we can do great things? Are you willing to keep going because there are no limits on what we can achieve? I believe in you and I believe in us, hence our 2023-2024 theme is "Dream. Believe. Achieve." I invite you, I challenge you and I ask you to embrace this theme with me and our board so that we can soar to greater heights.

Donna M. Mitchell, PRP TSAP President

It is my honor to serve as the president of the Texas State Association of Parliamentarians and continue the great work of our past board of directors. They have laid a solid foundation and I take pride in moving forward the legacy of this association. The privilege is mine to be surrounded by an amazing group of men and women, your board of directors, who are committed to having a stellar year and uplifting the message that "Members, Matter, Most."

The educational opportunities will be many as we reintroduce our monthly Parli workshops that will occur on the third Thursday. Join us and engage in the fun! In August we will offer our NAP membership exam summer series for those who want to elevate their knowledge and level up to becoming a member of NAP/TSAP. Lastly, our Houston area units are planning a wonderful MidWinter training conference that will be held on January 27, 2024 and our convention chair is trailblazing our 69th TSAP Convention to be held on April 26-28, 2024 in Spring, TX. Don’t forget to save the dates!

My presidential tour of Texas units is off to a great start! I started in the Dallas area with a virtual meeting and will continue to visit units throughout the summer. From Austin to the Dallas/Fort Worth area, our connections are far and wide. It is with joy that I personalize these connections and speak directly with our members. I am thrilled that you will share our journey as we “Dream. Believe. Achieve” and continue the legacy of parliamentary excellence in the state of Texas. Let’s sail.

Calling all new TSAP members! If you joined TSAP between April 2022 and present you are cordially invited to attend the first ever President's New Member Welcome Reception to be held virtually on June 27, 2023, 7pm-8pm CST. Watch your email for the zoom link.

We are enthused about the next steps of your journey with the Texas State Association of Parliamentarians (TSAP) and will provide an overview of TSAP and answer any questions/concerns you may have. We look forward to engaging with you.
