Fall Leadership Conference Recap
Friendship Bracelet Success
One of the highlights of the event was our "Bring Your Own Friendship Bracelet" activity, inspired by our theme, Eras of Excellence. Each state officer had a bracelet with their name on it, creating an exciting challenge for members to collect them all while connecting with others. We were amazed by the creativity and enthusiasm members brought to the activity, with many designing their own unique bracelet to share. We plan to bring this activity again for the upcoming State Leadership Conference.
Recap!
We hope you enjoyed the workshops hosted by our dedicated and regional officers. These workshops were designed with your growth in mind to help you thrive in TSA and beyond. Thank you for your participation. We're excited to see how you will apply what you've learned in your chapters and communities.

Chapter of the Month
Each month, we'll spotlight a TSA chapter that's going above and beyond. Congratulations to Southmoore MNTC High School for being our Chapter of the Month for November! 🎉 Special shoutout to their advisor, Brian Twomey, for all his hard work and dedication. This chapter is recognized for transforming a small chapter into a highly successful club at their school this year.

Forward to 50
About
Forward to Fifty (F2F) is a national membership recruitment campaign that capitalizes on TSA’s 50th anniversary in June 2028, and its related membership goal of 500,000 members and/or 3000 chapters. Launched today, the campaign has two major components: 1) recruiting new chapters, and 2) recruiting new members.
Recruiting new CHAPTERS
During the Forward to Fifty campaign, any existing chapter that successfully recruits, mentors, and helps a school start a first-time chapter or brings back an inactive (three or more years) chapter, could receive $1000 (one-time only) once the new chapter has affiliated with TSA. All qualifying existing chapters will be entered in an electronic selection process, and 50 chapters will be selected randomly to receive $1000.
Recruiting new Members
Any existing chapter that either matches or exceeds its 2023-2024 membership number could receive $1000. All qualifying chapters will be entered in an electronic selection process, and five middle school chapters and five high school chapters will be selected randomly to receive $1000.
