TCTA 2025-26 Board of Directors

The TCTA Board of Directors comprises 10 members elected to statewide positions. In addition to other duties, these officers coordinate activities in corresponding TCTA departments at headquarters.

The TCTA president-elect is chosen annually by delegates to the Representative Assembly, who are sent to the TCTA Convention as representatives of local CTA affiliates. The president-elect assumes office as president the following year. The president serves as a liaison among the members, elected leaders and staff. He or she is available to attend local affiliate and district functions on behalf of TCTA.

The TCTA president-elect serves as director for communications/public relations, and the TCTA immediate past-president is director of student issues.

Advisory Council

TCTA’s Advisory Council includes statewide elected leaders: the members of the Board of Directors as well as district councilmembers elected from each of TCTA’s 20 districts. To ensure that the composition of the council reflects TCTA’s diverse membership, ethnic minority councilmembers-at-large are elected, if needed, by the voting delegates at the TCTA Annual Convention (the TCTA Representative Assembly).

District councilmembers are available to assist all CTAs within the districts they represent. These councilmembers represent member views at the state level, assist CTAs with membership recruitment and local activities, and keep local leaders apprised of TCTA activities and accomplishments.
