TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY AUDITORS
COMMITTEES SIGN UP SHEET 

The following is a list of committees per the TACA by-laws and other committees I am requesting be continued or formed. The TACA’s success is based on the commitment of every auditor and every assistant auditor participating in these committees. Assistant auditors are an invaluable resource that has been historically underutilized. Assistants should obtain permission and encouragement from their County Auditor to participate.

We understand your time is valuable. Therefore, the Board has authorized the use of teleconferencing to reduce the need for travel and time away from the office allowing you to maximize your participation. The membership is the backbone of TACA. The committees are the arms and legs. Without committee members volunteering their time and energy for project work at hand, TACA goes nowhere and cannot fulfill its obligations to the membership to provide adequate service. Regardless if leadership points TACA in the right direction, it is you, the membership, which “moves” the Association in order to complete our mission. 

Additional committees may be formed to conduct the business of the Association at any time in the future.
These committees will be established by the President and presented to the Board of Directors.

I want to sincerely express my gratitude for your participation in our Association. Thank you.

Kirk Kirkpatrick
TACA President
Johnson County Auditor
