Tennessee Principals Association

Tennessee Principals Association The mission of the Tennessee Principals Association (TPA) is to Support, Empower, & Connect Tennessee Principals.

The only Associations with their focus on principals are those such as the Tennessee Principals Association. All our members are principals, have been principals or desire to be principals. TPA's entire program of work, structure of organization and benefits delivery systems were planned around the professional and personal development of its members. Our best known products are the the Journal (T

ennessee Principal) edited by Catherine Prentis of Nashville, our Annual Conference (this year in Pigeon Forge at the Music Road Hotel and Inn), our Legislative Lobbyist and legal mind in Stephen Smith, our Electronic Modules which award TASL credits through a partnership with Niswonger Foundation and all of the benefits associated with the TPA/NAESP affiliate relationship (million dollar liability coverage, legal assistant package, publications and so forth). Nationally TPA is a part of a 25,000 member network of principals. Within the state hundreds of principals operate as colleagues and available human resources to each other. It would be great to have you join with us both to enjoy the benefits mentioned above and to contribute from your areas of strength. Download the membership form and fax it to 423.245.5687 today!

August recess is a great time to see Congress at work in your own community.

Many Members of Congress post their community events, school visits, and public appearances online while they're back in their districts. Following their homebase schedules is an easy way to stay informed and see what issues they're discussing with constituents.

If you attend an event this August, share a photo or highlight from your experience and tag NAESP—we'd love to see school leaders engaging in advocacy across the country.

Congratulations and good luck to Dr Gleason on beginning her term as the NAESP President!
