Summer Conference—REGISTER NOW! TCWSE celebrates its 25th Anniversary at this year's Summer Conference, and you won't want to miss a minute of it! We've got some great speakers lined up, including Janet Hood-Hanchey, Lindy Robinson, and Dr. John Horn. The entire weekend is devoted to celebrating TCWSE and the accomplishments of its members. We'll reflect on our past, celebrate TCWSE today, and anticipate our future, all in the context of who we are as individuals and how we can continue to offer strength and support to one another. If you've been promising yourself to register for a TCWSE Summer Conference, this is the one to attend! You'll meet amazing women, learn a lot, and have a great time doing it! We look forward to welcoming you in Austin in June! Don't Forget! You can earn CEU credits by attending the TCWSE Summer Conference! Awards

Archive Dedication at TWU Our archive dedication at TWU earlier this month was a great success! More than 20 members showed up to kickoff to TCWSE's 25th anniversary celebration by making TCWSE a permanent part of TWU's Woman's Collection. The collection represents a major research collection on the history of American women, and we are honored to be a part of it. The dedication kicked off with a luncheon at Hubbard Hall, where President Priscilla White welcomed everyone, then invited Nan Restine, Dean TWU College of Professional Education to speak. After lunch, Past President Jackie Jenkins spoke to the group, sharing her memories of TCWSE. The group then moved to the Blagg-Huey Library for the dedication. President Priscilla White expressed how important the dedication was to her, then invited several past presidents to speak. Margret Montgomery, Elizabeth Clark, Dianne Hess, and Nancy Vaughan all shared wonderful memories of TCWSE and impressed upon us all how important the council is to women across the state. Everyone headed up to the Women's Collection, where we got our first look at the TCWSE collection — it was exciting to see our publications, correspondence, and other historical documents on display. All in all, it was a wonderful day and a very special event for TCWSE! Extra-special thanks to Lisa Gallagher and Gallagher Construction Services! Without their support, the dedication ceremony would not have been possible. Thank you, Lisa!!
