This page is a work in progress, it is being edited by the Core Values team, a subgroup of the TSA Futures Project. We encourage all stakeholders in the TSA community to get on board and contribute to the visioning process we have undertaken in this project.  To get involved, email Dakota Jensen, a junior at TSA, at events@tsafutures.ning.com and she will invite you to the website where many ideas are being shared!
