We wrapped up the 2026 TIA Summer Board Meeting by giving back to the local YMCA.

Board members and staff came together to stuff 100 backpacks filled with snacks, hygiene essentials, and other age-appropriate items for children and families in the community.

At TIA, we’re proud to support initiatives that make a positive impact beyond our industry. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this project a success!

The 2026 TIA Summer Board Meeting is underway in New York! Great discussions, fresh ideas, and a shared commitment to moving our industry forward. We’re off to a fantastic start and looking forward to what’s ahead.

The next round of TIA training classes is right around the corner, including programs designed to provide hands-on education, safety practices, and real-world industry experience directly from TIA instructors.
