Eastern Region
In the month of march, a new eastern region officer team was introduced following the regional conference. Throughout this month we have looked over what will make this year the best it can be. We also looked ahead as the state and national conference approach. Through this next month of April we will prepare meetings to discuss the upcoming year.
Western Region
During the month of March, the Western Region officer team has been attempting to communicate with the State officer team as well as TSA alumni in order to build a foundation for a mentorship program for the region. While further operations are currently on hold as we prepare for the State conference, we hope to work with the soon-to-be-elected officer team to improve our region as soon as possible. Good luck with your State competitions!
