💜💜💜💜💜📢📢📢📢📢📢💜💜💜💜💜The Tarleton Association of Professionals Board of Directors met at a called meeting on October 4, 2023, and voted to start the process to dissolve TAP.
The Board will have another called meeting to determine the allocation of its remaining funds (almost $10,000) in accordance with our mission and bylaws. Please be assured that all TAP membership fees were – or will be – distributed to support the fundamental mission of TAP. During the past TWO years, we will have distributed OVER $30,000 to student organizations, provided over 25 networking events for its 77 members, and solicited significant sponsorship support to Tarleton events, including the annual Tarleton Presidential Gala.
When TAP was created at the request and suggestion of Tarleton State University’s Division of Institutional Advancement, there were several employees who were internally tasked with supporting TAP activities, membership, and funds. There must be some permanent university resources dedicated to the support and growth of TAP in order for TAP to proceed under its current affiliation with Tarleton, and unfortunately, those resources are not available at this time.
We still believe that the mission of TAP is valuable and would be an integral part of the growth of Tarleton, a university we all individually support.
We hope that Tarleton will be able to include the resources needed to support such an organization in its future plans.
Come by the former TAP tailgate location on Saturday as we distribute FREE TAP merch, eat delicious food and gather informally!
We urge our members and former members to keep supporting Tarleton State University’s students, faculty and staff. And forever Bleed Purple!
