We at TNVLC have lots of ideas about how we could make TRIAVA more engaging, more interesting, and more valuable to you, as TRIAVA members. And we are eager to include you in our planning process! We want to hear your ideas about how to reimagine TRIAVA – to give you the resources, the relationships, and the trainings you need and want, that will help you succeed as volunteer administrators.
If you are a TRIAVA member, you are cordially invited to meet with us on Thursday, January 16, from 9-10:15 am via Zoom to share ideas and suggestions for next year. To encourage active participation in this meeting, we are limiting the number of participants to 12 people. If you would like to be part of this event, registration is required. And if your plans change, we ask that you let us know so we can open the space for someone else.
