Welcome to the
47th Annual Education Conference
Howdy Ya’ll!
Welcome to beautiful Frisco, Texas and the 47th Annual Education Conference. We are so excited that you are here. Whether you are attending for the first time or the fifteenth time, we value the trust you have in what we have to offer. The TACA Board of Directors and Committee Chairs responsible for organizing this event have outdone themselves. As the chair of our organization, I want to extend my sincere gratitude to them for the hard work and energy they have invested to make this conference great.
As in years past, we have put together a collection of plenary and breakout sessions to pique your interest and expand your knowledge. Our goal for this conference is to help both new and seasoned leaders navigate the road to success. Take some time to review the agenda and circle your favorites. It is our hope that there is something for everyone.
Of course, we couldn’t plan a conference without a sprinkle of TACA fun. Be sure to join us for “Denim and Diamonds”, “Crocs and Cocktails” and the Vendor Reception this week. We would love to see your face in the place, get to know you a little better and maybe even take a selfie. You’re sure to have a good time! Please see the agenda for times and locations.
Lastly, I encourage you to get involved. Connect with your peers in the profession, make new contacts, join a committee, consider running for the board, check out our vendors and stop by our awesome raffle table. We truly want you to have the best experience. If there is anything we can do to assist you during the conference, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We appreciate your presence and commitment to TACA.
Have an amazing week!

— Tricia Austin, TACA Chair
