TYCAT

A Letter from the TYCAT Chair

  • Dear Tennessee Colleagues,

  • Let me begin by thanking you for your hard work in making TYCA-SE 2010 a complete success. Though we elected to put our annual TYCAT conference temporarily on hold, TYCA-SE certainly reaped the benefits of this move. We received valuable support from the publishing companies, and the conference program was heavily populated with familiar names from the TYCAT ranks.

  • With our recollections of TYCA-SE 2010 quickly fading, it is time to turn our collective attention back to our statewide organization. Planning has already begun, and the dates have been selected. I hope that you will begin planning now to join us again this year in Dickson, Tennessee on October 8th and 9th for the fifth annual TYCAT conference. A tentative schedule is available on the website, and more information will be forthcoming as the summer progresses.

  • I look forward to seeing you again at the Renaissance Center in October.
