Membership Engagement

The Membership Engagement Committee (MEC) is committed to building individual and organizational capacity within the membership of TCPEA for the purpose of advancing our work as preparers of school and district leaders across the state of Texas and beyond. To advance this work in the coming year, the MEC will work with members to identify practical needs that may be addressed through collegial discourse and professional development while providing opportunities for members to lead. Understanding that TCPEA members already have a wide range of knowledge and experience, the committee seeks individuals willing to share their expertise through webinars, professional panels, and lunch & learns. The MEC will preserve videos and other resources from this work in a repository that will be accessible to members.
