President's Message
Welcome to a new year.
2018 is the year of our 33rd Annual State Conference. It’s conference time.
You can help, if each member worked to invite at least 7 people to register and attend our conference, we would have met our registration goals.
TABSE has a lot to celebrate. Our Affiliates are aligned and strong. They have had meet and greet mixers, Teacher of the Year celebrations, record membership registrations and have established a professional working culture to empower children of African descent and those that teach and lead them.
We have had numerous promotions of TABSE leaders represented throughout the state of Texas. We have monumentally mobilized politically and legislatively. TABSE is working to place and educate leaders in positions to make incredible deposits to children of African descent.
Don’t get left behind.
Get ACTIVE in your local affiliate and join the state and national affiliate.
The TABSE network is a source of synergy where professional, legislative and education dreams intersect with reality.
Join us in Houston for our state Conference in February and grow your network and expertise.
T.A.B.S.E. has R.I.S.E.N. – we are moving, move with us.
In service with you,
Dr. Kimberly McLeod
TABSE President
