What is TSA:
The Technology Student Association is a non-profit national student organization.  Its mission is to inspire its student members to prepare for careers in a technology-driven economy and culture.

TSA’s membership includes 200,000 middle and high school students in 2,000 schools spanning 48 states. We now have chapters in Puerto Rico, Germany, and Scotland as well.

Involvement in TSA benefits teachers as well as students.  Relating class activities to local, regional, state, and national technology related competitive events can be highly motivational for students.  The natural interaction between teachers and students can provide an excellent learning environment, while working toward goals.

State Officer Elections PDF Print E-mail
Written by Ross Short   
Sunday, 10 January 2010 14:59
One of the goals of the WTSA State Officer team has been to reevaluate the current process for electing state officers and modify it in a way that ensures the best six candidates are elected to office. This modification must fall within the current constitution. As such we have developed the process outlined in the document below in which candidates apply to be part of the State Officer Team and the WTSA membership votes for the six individuals they most want to have be their state officers. This will ensure that we elect the best six candidates and that all officers are filled with quality people.

 

Election Procedures

 

Washington TSA is now accepting applications for qualified individuals to run for the 2010-11 State Officer Team.  This is an exciting opportunity for students to develop as leaders and help our organization be the best it can be.  If you have a student in your chapter you think would make a great State Officer, encourage them to run.  You maybe you want to be part of this unique experience.  To apply, please download and read the items below.  Then Complete and Return the materials to Washington TSA by March 1st.
