Director of RM Sales & Marketing

Why Texas Association of School Boards (TASB)

We come from humble beginnings — picture a one-person organization created in 1949 to advocate for excellence in public education on behalf of Texas school board members. Flash forward to today, and we have over 500 employees working together to provide 1,024 school districts with purposeful resources and services so they can focus on what matters most — excellent education for over 5 million Texas students. 

We work alongside talented team-members who are passionate about supporting public education and enjoy learning from new and different perspectives. We believe what makes our organization highly successful is the rich diversity of expertise our employees collectively bring to TASB. And our passion for education and learning doesn’t end there. Our culture has always encouraged employees to grow and become their best selves both professionally and personally through a variety of innovative and collaborative development opportunities. 

TASB offers competitive pay, rich benefits (including retirement matching of 2:1 up to 5% after one year. This means that if you contribute 5% to the plan, TASB will contribute 10%), family-friendly paid leave, onsite daycare, onsite gym, wellness program, tuition reimbursement, hybrid work options, and more. 

Every role at TASB thoughtfully complements our mission and the impact being made in school districts across Texas.
