TAASA is pleased to announce that Texas First Lady Anita Perry has joined our staff.

Mrs. Perry will give a tremendous boost to our fundraising and outreach efforts.

As you may know, Mrs. Perry has served on the front lines of our state's efforts to confront sexual violence. She was the first sexual assault emergency room nurse in Haskell County. She has the passion, the dedication, and an understanding of the issues that are critical to our success.

TAASA is very excited about the opportunity to have Anita Perry take such an important role in our new development and public outreach efforts.

Her first day at work is Monday, November 10.
