President's Message
Welcome!
Happy Spring TAA!
Most of us are enjoying our spring break this week and looking ahead to the final push of the 2022-2023 school year. Our leadership perspective with both staff and students must remain “glass half full” no matter the challenges. I encourage you to rest and refresh in order to be your very best as the final quarter always seems to be the most adventurous!
Registration is open for the 2023 TAA Summer Conference “Charting the Course Part II”. Early Bird registration is open and effective through March 30, 2023! Check out the details at taa-online.org under the conference tab. Remember, this year we are working with local emergency partners to present a real scene accident and allow you and your teams to plan, review,and collaborate about what you would do in your organization. In addition to this event you can look forward to multiple courses and presentations related not only to student transportation emergency response, but also discussions related to success in the day to day student transportation functions that we all face. You won’t want to miss it.
For those who have attended the conference before, coupled with the learning and collaborating that happens each year we definitely have some fun along the way with activities, and events to sharpen skills, meet new colleagues, and test your hand at new activities.We can’t wait to see you in Flagstaff!
Thank you to our educational partners The Trust for their contribution to the content, course work, and intricate planning and preparation for our Tuesday event success. Their expertise and contribution to our efforts and the conference success is appreciated. Remember to check out the various courses offered by The Trust online throughout the year specific to student transportation.
TAA Region meetings have taken place around our state this past quarter. If you have not had the opportunity to participate in a region meeting please reach out to your representative for dates, times and details. If you have industry questions, or in the moment clarification needs please contact your board members. We can assist in getting you connected to the right expert to find solutions. Remember it takes a village to do this work well, we are here for you and happy to assist and guide.
As you prepare your departments for a successful finish to the school year remember to celebrate the small things. Every win is worth recognizing. Continue to promote safety and engagement every single day.
Happy Spring
