Do you want to make a difference and help shape the future of your region? As a Regional Representative, you will be a vital part of the TPSA team, working collaboratively with other members of TPSA leadership and regional school advisors. Each region will elect a Regional Representative who will oversee and represent the region as well as serve as a liaison between the regions and the Executive Council. Representatives from even number regions will be elected in even number years and Representatives from odd number regions will be elected in odd number years. New Regional Representatives will take office at the conclusion of the State Competition and serve for 2 years. In the event that a region does not have a regional representative at the beginning of the competition year, the chapters in the region may be divided up among other regions for competition.
