TCC’s programs and other events are made possible through the volunteer efforts of our Board of Directors. From recruiting speakers, promoting events and securing venues, to filling in for presenters at a moment’s notice, the board is the beating heart of our organization. The goal is to fill board positions with those who represent the range of our members’ professional interests: from corporate leaders to sole proprietors, and media/marketing pros to web and graphic designers.
