2025 Committee Volunteer Form
Your opportunity to serve on a TSLA Committee in 2025 is now available! Please see below for committee descriptions. Everyone who volunteers will serve on a committee. It may not be your first choice, but you will be asked to serve.
A few reminders:
- The TSLA Texans Under Forty Committee will be capped at 15 committee members.
- In 2022 we implemented a rule limiting years of service on the TUF committee to two years (except for chair and co-chairs). If you have served on the TUF committee for two years, you will need to choose a new committee in 2025.
Everyone needs to complete a form to serve on a 2025 committee, even if you served on a committee in 2024.
If you need more information or have questions on time commitments, etc. please contact me at jptsla@tsla.org or by phone at (512) 567-8014.
TSLA is a true volunteer driven association. We need every member firm to find at least one person in their office who can volunteer in 2025, if at all possible!

The role involves welcoming new members to TSLA and providing assistance to the Executive Director at the conference as required.
