State Representative Donna Howard has been selected as the TACT Legislator of the Year!  Rep. Howard (D-Austin), who serves on the House Higher Education Committee, was selected for her focus on students during committee deliberations, her continuing support for the TEXAS Grant, and for favoring the use of higher education specialists in the design and testing of public education.  She also insists on maintaining the quality of education while others seem more interested in the quantity of students receiving degrees.

Representative Howard will be accepting her award at our Fall Conference, October 28-29 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Austin.  Come support her and TACT as we continue our advocacy for Higher Education.  Call our office at 512-873-7404 to register (only $40 for both days), and view the agenda here.
