It’s time to register for the 2016 TACRAO Annual Meeting!  Please visit the conference website to register for the conference and obtain hotel registration information.  Both the Early Bird registration rate of $160 and the hotel group rate of $139/night will last until October 18, 2016 so make sure to register and reserve your rooms as soon as possible.

On the conference website, please also note the availability of the 2016 TACRAO Annual Meeting Scholarship (TAMS), which covers registration fees for the conference and two nights of hotel accommodations for selected applicants.  Make sure to be on the lookout for additional information regarding TAMS in the upcoming weeks.

The TACRAO Board of Directors is looking forward to a great conference including a wildly fun night at the Memphis Zoo, this year’s Big Event.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need any assistance.  I look forward to seeing all of you in Memphis!

Here’s a quick update on all things TACRAO:

• Registration is open for C4C and Registrar’s Roundtable.  Register now!
• Deadline to submit a session proposal for TACRAO 2016 is Sept 12.

With the completion of the Fall 2016 TACRAO Calendar, travel season is just around the corner.  I would like to remind everyone that TACRAO members will receive the fall 2016 calendar once dues have been paid.  The dues invoice is available online.  Non-members may purchase the calendar by submitting the calendar order form along with payment.

Registration is now open for the 2016 TACRAO Summer Admissions Workshop.  Go to http://www.tnacrao.org/?page_id=41 to register.

This year’s summer workshop will be held July 29th in Nashville, TN at Montgomery Bell Academy (4001 Harding Pike, Nashville TN 37205). Instructions for how to RSVP and pay are in the attached document. Check-In begins at 8:00am CST and the Welcome/Introduction will begin at 8:30am CST. We added an extra session to the schedule, so this year’s Summer Workshop is scheduled to run until 2:30 (but we will try to get everyone out a little early to make it back home!)

As mentioned in the “Save the Date” email that went out a couple of weeks ago, we are also going to have a networking event the night before (July 28^th) at the Nashville Sounds baseball game. The event is optional and not included in the registration fee, but we do encourage any attendees who will be in Nashville to attend. We will be purchasing General Admission tickets which are around $10 each, and TACRAO is inviting area high school counselors to attend the game as well. This will be a great opportunity to network with not only each other but also school counselors in the area! If you are interested in attending the baseball game email Sammy Stevens at ssteve18@utk.edu,  and I’ll send you information on how to purchase your ticket.

If you need hotel recommendations or have trouble finding an area hotel within budget, email Lori Corley (the Summer Workshop Chair) and she will help you find accommodations! Her email address is corleyle@mailbox.sc.edu.

Any other questions can be directed to Sammy Stevens at ssteve18@utk.edu . We hope you will join us in July for this year’s summer workshop!
