The TACRAO Board is excited to announce the 2018 Annual Meeting will be held November 14-16, 2018 in Knoxville, TN at the Hilton Knoxville.  Registration and hotel information will be forthcoming.

This year’s theme is “Discovering the Elements of Higher Education”.  What keeps you passionate about your career? How do you see your role fitting into the big picture of higher education?  What new things will you discover this year?

We also invite you to submit a session proposal for the annual meeting. TACRAO is searching for presenters who would like to engage attendees in conversations around cutting-edge trends, issues, and solutions in higher education. The value of sharing what you know through this professional development opportunity can have a far-reaching impact; because of the collaborative nature, presenters also find that through sharing their expertise they often gain new insights themselves! TACRAO is committed to fostering a community of learning that will help our members receive, retain, and gain knowledge to help improve the quality of service we provide at our institutions.

We encourage proposals from professionals in a variety of roles at both two-year and four-year institutions, as well as vocational/technical schools.

Topics we are looking to include:

·         Records and Registration

·         Administrative Support Services

·         Retention Strategies

·         Undergraduate and Graduate Admissions Practices

·         Management/ Leadership

·         Customer Service

·         Technology / Data Management

·         Diversity / Cultural Awareness

·         Professionalism
