Cabinet & Staff

According to our bylaws, TRAA is governed by both an Executive Cabinet and a Board of Directors.
  • The Executive Cabinet members serve as advisors to the President and oversee the regular business of the association.
  • The Board of Directors is comprised of Affiliate State Directors, the Executive Cabinet (see below), and TRAA Founders (must be regular members in standing). The Board of Directors serve an important role in overseeing the direction of the association and, in the case of Affiliate State Directors, represent the interests of their own state members on a federal level.
