The Association would like to acknowledge and congratulate three agencies recently recertified for the TMPAA Best Practice Designation.
The Women's Networking lunch at the recent Mid Year Meeting was an enormous success with the assembled group providing their suggestions on how best to promote women in Program Business leadership positions and to play a larger role in the TMPAA.
The committee's advisory team will be meeting to develop these ideas into a strong mission and action plan for the Association's Women's Networking group.
