Subject: TxABA - Student Volunteers

Dear, esteemed program chairs in Texas,

I hope this email finds you all well. I am reaching because there is a concerning decreasing trend in student volunteers at the TxABA conference. The TxABA Executive Council and I firmly believe that student involvement in the TxABA organization and at the conference is so important. Through volunteering, students acquire valuable skills that will contribute to their professional development. It also represents a good opportunity for them to establish professional connections.

The TxABA EC is reaching out to ask if you could please encourage your students to participate as volunteers at the TxABA conference. Volunteers will have to pay their own travel and hotel, but they do receive free registration to the conference. Prospective volunteers can contact us at: volu...@txaba.org

We know that this request will make quite an impact coming from the leaders in their programs. We thank you so much for your support.

Take care and happy holidays!
