The TSA provides a number of excellent student leadership opportunities, including regional and state officer positions. Officers have the opportunity to gain valuable leadership experience, develop effective communication skills, and familiarize themselves with the workings of voluntary associations in the modern world.

In addition, many officer credit TSA with teaching them essential problem solving, critical thinking, time management, and team working skills. Did we mention that it’s a lot of fun?
