WOCCISD Trustee Participates in Leadership Program
(Austin) –Tricia Ann Stroud, trustee from West Orange-Cove CISD, joined 26 other
school board members from across Texas October 1-3 at the kickoff session of the
Leadership TASB class of 2021. Selected by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB),
the group is participating in a yearlong education leadership study program. These trustees
represent school districts of all sizes, with student populations of 1,200 to 110,000, and
reflect a similar range of property wealth.
Participants who complete all required elements of the study will graduate next year
by earning Master Trustee status. This is the highest designation recognized by TASB.
Meeting in conjunction with the Texas Association of School Administrators/TASB
Convention, the trustees met virtually and heard featured speaker Debra Fine, a nationally
known motivational speaker and author of The Fine Art of Small Talk. Board members also
received training at Convention sessions and attended the TASB Delegate Assembly, the
Association’s annual business meeting.
Other Leadership TASB sessions are scheduled for San Marcos, November 12-14;
Corpus Christi, February 11-13; Longview, April 15-17; and Fort Worth, June 24-26. Each session
has a unique theme that builds on the previous session and features nationally recognized
experts in the fields of leadership development and education. Teams also work throughout
the year on extended learning assignments between meetings. Created in 1993, Leadership
TASB has more than 900 graduates to date.
TASB is a voluntary, nonprofit association established in 1949 to serve local Texas
school boards. School board members are the largest group of publicly elected officials in
the state. The districts they represent serve more than 5.4 million public school students.
