Change in TSAE Leadership and Introduction of Search Committee

March 22, 2016

March 22, 2016

From TSAE Board Chairman Bill Keese, CAE:

As announced to the membership in an email earlier this month, TSAE President and CEO Beth Brooks, CAE, will be leaving the association at the end of March.

I would first like to acknowledge and thank Beth for her tremendous work and effort leading TSAE for the past 15 years. She has demonstrated strong leadership, helped grow the association and expand our offerings, and been an invaluable resource to both members and staff. The work done during her tenure will benefit TSAE and our members for many years to come.

Please be assured that we will work tirelessly to maintain services and programs throughout the transition.

A Search Committee of TSAE members has been appointed to find and place the right person as the next president of TSAE. We have no deadline for a replacement – our mission is to take the necessary time needed to find the right person.
