Leadership Project
"My TMA Leadership College project consisted of an at-home seminar to educate women in the community regarding menopause. Participants were able to ask questions and share experiences regarding the subject matter. Future seminars are being considered for a premenopausal and adolescent audience.

What I Learned in TMALC
"The TMA Leadership College has given me the tools I needed to build my confidence and skills as a leader. I have a clearer direction and method to achieve my goals thanks to the support of my new leadership college partners."
