Recruiting New Chapters 

Let’s Move Forward to Fifty! 

Engage in the Forward to Fifty campaign and your chapter could receive $1000!

 

Getting Started and Participation

  • Get started in the campaign by identifying a school that does not have a TSA chapter. A new school/chapter may be recruited from anywhere in the nation, not just nearby, as recruiting/mentoring may be done in person or virtually. If you need assistance in identifying a school to recruit, contact Monica Geiger, Member Services Manager. A helpful resource for recruiting new chapters can be found in this list of new chapter recruitment ideas.
  • Once a school has been identified, complete and submit a Recruitment Intention Form to National TSA; confirmation to move forward with recruiting/mentoring will come from National TSA.
  • Digital marketing resources may be accessed by existing chapters and/or prospective chapters. 
  • Existing chapters are expected to engage during the school year with prospective chapters (examples: invite the prospective chapter to a chapter meeting; have a Zoom or in-person meeting about competition experiences; provide leadership activity ideas). 
  • The deadline for new chapters (recruited through the Forward to Fifty campaign) to affiliate is April 15, 2025.
  • In late April 2025, National TSA will confirm eligibility for existing chapters that qualify for the opportunity to possibly receive $1000.

Double Your Opportunity

Double your chapter’s opportunity to possibly receive $1000 through TSA’s Forward to Fifty membership recruitment campaign!

As a part of the chapters recruiting new chapters component of the F2F campaign, high school chapters can double their opportunity to receive $1000 by recruiting and mentoring their unaffiliated feeder middle schools and helping them start a TSA chapter. Once a feeder middle school has affiliated, the recruiting high school chapter will be entered twice into the random selection to receive $1000. The first step for the recruiting chapter is to submit the F2F Recruitment Intention form.

A similar opportunity applies to middle school chapters: recruit and mentor your unaffiliated feeder high school(s) and your chapter can double its opportunity to receive $1000. Once a recruited feeder high school has affiliated with TSA, the recruiting middle school chapter will be entered twice in the random selection to receive $1000. Middle school chapters can get started by submitting the F2F Recruitment Intention form.

Awards: Existing Chapters 

  • The more new chapters an existing chapter helps to start and mentor, the more possibilities the existing chapter has to receive $1000.
  • In late April 2025, qualifying existing chapters will be notified of their inclusion in an electronic random selection process to possibly receive $1000. Once the process is complete, 50 chapters will be notified of their selection.
  • Funds will be sent to the chapters at their school address in May 2025; the $1000 may be used as each chapter/school chooses. 
  • Members and advisors of eligible existing chapters in attendance at the 2025 National TSA Conference will receive Forward to Fifty name badge ribbons.
