\u201cI am involved in TACL because<\/em><\/strong>\u2026.\u00a0 It is the people!\u00a0 It is always about people and the resources and knowledge they share.\u00a0 From my first conference 12+ years ago, my TACL friends have provided guidance and wisdom that has been invaluable.\u00a0 I have met so many other community leadership people who have inspired me, shared a great idea, or just been there to answer a phone call.\u00a0 It is truly an amazing group of people that are friends and advisors for life.\u00a0 No one else does what you do in your community so this is the best group to help you grow and learn in your role.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
