Tim Wright, TPALS Chair 

Being an exhibitor at the TLA conference is such a great opportunity to meet and work with librarians, educators, and administrators across the great state of Texas. The relationships that are built are rewarding on many levels, both professionally and personally.

I encourage all of the sales representatives in Texas to not only join TLA and TPALS for a nominal fee of $30, but to also become part of our exciting presence at the TLA 2012 Conference in Houston.

TPALS will continue to offer strong vendor recognition at our TLA 2012 Conference in Houston. In addition, we'll offer ample vendor education which will include valuable tools for marketing, selling and lead follow-up. And, always a favorite TPALS event, be sure to mark your calendars to participate in the TLA Annual Golf Tournament in Houston. More exciting details to follow!
