MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

We Want to Spotlight Our Members!

As a board, we feel that we can all learn something from each other, but that this can only be done if we share a little bit about ourselves. In an effort to get to know each other better, we have created the "Member Spotlight" where a TAPPA member will be spotlighted through our monthly TAPPA Newsletter. This is our chance to highlight you and your success to others in this industry. We are proud of our members and would be honored if you would participate.
