TAIP Member Section
The TAIP Member Section of the homepage gives Member School representatives access to the "TAIP Conversations" podcast episodes after we archived them from the homepage, AGM minutes, and financial reports.
Member schools can also post information to our homepage, social media accounts, and future TAIP newsletters. To post information about events at your school, please use the "Member Posts" form in the Member Section. "Member Posts" are not limited to events.
