The Goodwill Committee is responsible for ensuring member needs are met during difficult times and positive life events are celebrated together. TEA members consider TEA a family and the Goodwill Committee ensures personal updates are shared as members desire.

Dan Hiatt, LaMode Cleaners Program Committee Chair

The Program Committee’s goal is to schedule desirable programming during the weekly luncheons. This program may include speakers from outside TEA or it may include a member highlight about their business operations and personal background.

The Needs Committee is a distinguishing hallmark of TEA membership. Designed to confidentially provide assistance and support, the Needs Committee helps members to overcome business difficulties and reach successful conclusions. Due to the intimate nature of this committee, members are required to be in TEA for at least 3 years and to adhere to the highest business ethics.
