Student committees within PA-TSA are a great way for any student to get involved at the state level. The various committees offer students to develop leadership skills at the state level. Each committee is chaired by an elected state officer and potentially vice-chaired by a dedicated member of the association. Any PA-TSA member can sign up to participate on the committees which hold video meetings throughout the year and contribute in various ways to the state delegation. Please adhere to all application deadline dates.
