BECOMING A STATE OFFICER

 

One of the many benefits of TSA is the local, state and national leadership opportunities that are available to students. Please encourage your students to take advantage of these unique opportunities by encouraging them to run for a state office.

​

Montana TSA has six (6) officer positions - President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Reporter, and Sergeant-at-Arms.  Applicants DO NOT apply for a specific position. After being elected, all six State Officers will attend a CTSO Leadership Camp. At the conclusion of the camp, the State Officer Team will determine the appropriate position for each officer.  The State Officer Team is comprised to the six (6) TSA officers and the State TSA Advisor.

 

Candidates must complete the online application and the TSA State Officer Signature document. The signature document will need to be submitted by e-mail to jesse@montanatsa.com by January 31, 2024.  Applicants will be notified by the State Advisor if their application has been accepted.  Officer candidates will be expected to introduce themselves at the State Leadership Conference on April, 2023. Voting will take place during the delegate session.

 

By electing you to State TSA office, the membership entrusts the leadership of its organization to you and your fellow officers. With the acceptance of this honor come duties and responsibilities. Duty is defined, as “the conduct, obedience, loyalty, and submission required of an officer.

 

Responsibility is “the reliability and moral accountability for duties expected of an officer.” Together, duty and responsibility convey the conduct and performance appropriate to all Montana TSA State officers.

  • Help other officers accomplish their tasks.

  • Practice good speaking and writing skills as you represent the State association.
