TLA Council

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version Share this

TLA policy is set by a governing council of elected leaders. Information on the current TLA Council members may be accessed in the Members Only Section. Council meets four times yearly, twice at Annual Conference in the spring and twice at Annual Assembly in the summer. These meetings are open to all members and interested parties. The TLA leadership year changes each spring, and it is at the second council meeting during conference that the gavel is passed from the outgoing president to the newest president of TLA.
