They are expected to attend quarterly virtual meetings and up to two in-person meetings, one of which is held the day before the start of the annual conference in June. Occasional extra virtual meetings and committee or task-force participation may also be involved. Most travel and lodging expenses related to attending the in-person meeting is covered by TAA. Learn more about the roles and responsibilities of the TAA CouncilCurrent TAA Council Members.
