Letter from Leadership They say time flies when you're having fun and I cannot believe how quickly this year went by. It feels like I was just being sworn in at the January Dinner Meeting! TAA has been a busy place and I am so proud of all the accomplishments our association had last year. The committees, volunteers, and staff have all worked so hard. I am truly honored to have served as president for our membership, but it takes a village to make TAA successful. I’d like to take the time to brag a little on all the achievements we had in 2019! The Education Committee and TAA Education Foundation (TAAEF) raised $6,100 at their annual Battle of the Baskets fundraiser at the Trade Show. The baskets keep getting bigger and better each year. Thank you to those who donated! TAAEF also hosted their “Take 5” Breakfast Business Exchange Reverse Trade Show and it sold out in record time – 44 minutes! The Government Affairs Committee had an amazing year and proceeded to collect a record breaking $30,153 in PAC donations from our members. This year also saw the creation of the PAC Board of Trustees.
