Celebration and Thank You for Executive Secretary Fred Slabach (MS '77)

Dear Truman Community,

Please join us to provide thanks and and say goodbye to Executive Secretary Fred Slabach at a Truman Scholars Association happy hour at Potenza from 5-7 p.m. on Monday, December 13, 2010.

As you have likely heard, Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation Executive Secretary Fred Slabach is making an exciting move. He was selected to serve as the 19th President of Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth, Texas, where he previously served as Dean of the Law School.

Although we are all sad to see Fred, a 1977 Truman Scholar, leave the position of Executive Secretary, we are thrilled for him to embark on this new and exciting opportunity and thankful for the tremendous service he has provided. We also are pleased that he will continue to remain involved as Treasurer of the Foundation's Board.

Many Scholars have expressed their desire to see Fred off before he leaves Washington. The Truman Scholars Association has organized an informal happy hour so that Scholars may have the opportunity to drop-in and say goodbye and thank Fred for his service. Please join us at Potenza (http://www.potenzadc.com/), located at the corner of 15th and H Street, NW, Washington, DC, on Monday, December 13th, from 5-7 p.m. For more information, please visit http://www.trumanscholars.org/events/slabach.

We hope to see you there!

Give Your Input on the Truman Scholars Association Strategic Plan

The TSA Board is developing a 5-year Strategic Plan for the Truman Scholars Association.  The Board wants all Truman Scholars to have the opportunity to provide input before defining the path TSA will take over the next 5 years.  To give your thoughts on where TSA should go from here, please fill out the form below (or visit http://www.trumanscholars.org/blog/strategicplan). The TSA Board will present the full Strategic Plan to the Truman Scholar community at the 2011 National Conference.  We look forward to hearing your ideas!

 

The current mission of the Truman Scholars Association (TSA) is to build, maintain, and educate a community of Truman Scholars; to foster a lifelong commitment to public service in all its forms through intellectual, personal, and professional development; and to support and promote public service.

We have been working to accomplish these goals through a number of activities, including maintaining a TSA listserve, holding National Conferences, organizing smaller events like In the Running and a Reunion at the 20th Anniversary of TSLW, hosting pre-interview dinners for Truman finalists, etc.

Please answer the following questions to help us tailor TSA's mission and future activities, as part of TSA's current Strategic Plan initiative.

 



What do you think is the purpose of TSA? What does it exist to do?

TSA is taking another look at its mission statement to make sure that it still captures the community's understanding of who we are and what we should be. Please give us your thoughts on TSA's mission here.



What would you like to see TSA doing in 5 years that it is NOT doing now?



What do you hope TSA is still doing in 5 years that it IS doing now?



What, if any, TSA activities have you participated in since becoming a Truman Scholar? Please be as specific as possible. If you leave this blank, we will assume you have not participated in any TSA activities (yet!).
