TAPPA News and Updates
 
 

Hello,

We’re just over a month away from this year’s in-person conference in Spring, Texas and the TAPPA Board of Directors has been finalizing plans for what is shaping up to be a great one!  This is a good way to grow your professional network with the many networking opportunities provided by this year’s conference.  We will have a variety of sessions that I’m sure you’ll find informative.  With session topics ranging from “Surplus Warehousing Asset Tracking”, “Top 6 To-Dos to Prepare for Your Next New Campus Building Chilled/ Heating Water Installation” to “Using Technology to Manage Buildings & Emergencies”, you should be able to satisfy your need for knowledge.

When it comes to the golf tournament, we’re trying something a little different than hitting the links.  This year, we’ll be at Top Golf for what should provide a couple of hours of great entertainment.

You’ll be able to discover and evaluate new products and services offered by our business partners that will support your ongoing projects within your institutions.

So be sure to get your university registered.  Don’t delay, register today at:

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
 


 

The TAPPA Board of Directors would like to recognize and get to know our current members better. The depth of knowledge within this group is something that we should all be proud of. 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.

If you are interested in participating in the TAPPA Member Spotlight or would like to nominate someone, please fill out this interest form.
