The Board of Directors

TCEA’s Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that TCEA is aligned with its mission and vision through establishing policies for governance. Board members volunteer their time to ensure TCEA is able to support educators around the world in achieving learning without limits. And the needs of the TCEA membership are the board’s priority.

The Executive Committee

Six directors are elected to the executive committee of TCEA’s Board of Directors. Executive committee candidates must meet all the requirements for being an area director and have served as a voting member of the board of directors for the two full years prior to the election year, so they must have completed three full years on the board of directors prior to taking office.

Area Directors

TCEA’s 20 area directors represent each of the 20 Education Service Centers in Texas. These directors are responsible for managing area events and representing their area. Any regular TCEA member in good standing who is a teacher, administrator, or other employee of an educational entity in the state of Texas is eligible to be an area director. TCEA Area Directors are elected by TCEA members in a fall election each year. All area directors reside or are employed in the area they represent.
