TAIS is staffed by a team of experienced independent educators and governed by a Board of Directors composed of current Heads of School from TAIS Member Schools. In addition to guiding the association, TAIS leadership advocates on behalf of Member Schools across the state:
- A TAIS Board Member holds a seat on the TSSAA Board, representing independent schools in statewide athletic governance.
- The TAIS Executive Director serves on the Governor’s Non-public Schools Advisory Council.
- The TAIS Executive Director partners with a lobbyist in legislative advocacy, ensuring the representation of Member Schools’ interests.
These roles ensure TAIS schools have a voice in statewide policy and access to timely, relevant information.
