We would like to introduce our 2012 Texas ASA Federation Directors, Area Representatives and Webmasters. This is the crew that will help the host clubs run shoots. They will also register shooters,  tabulate scores, keep the paperwork in order, act as range officials, hand out awards, post scores, track SOY standings and generally stay busy with Texas ASA 3D all season.
Mike and Tracy Smith are your Texas ASA Federation State Directors. We will be attending as many shoots as possible.
The north central and east Texas shoots will be run by Kurt and Tiffany Page. Kurt and Tiffany did a wonderful job last year running the east region shoots and assisting at the state championship.
 Mike and Cari Wagstaff along with Blake Kidder will be running the southern part of the state. Mike and Cari are the face of Texas ASA in the southeastern part of Texas. We could not run shoots in southeast Texas without them. Blake is coming onboard to help us in south Texas.
Mike and Tracy Smith will be running the shoots in the western part of Texas.
 
Jimmy Mitchell is our At Large Area Rep and Advisor. Jimmy is the former Western Regional Director and Texas State Director. Jimmy's passion for building the Texas ASA Federation is unsurpassed. Jimmy laid the ground work that has made the Texas ASA Federation the nation's best.
Glenn and Celeste Salsman are the Texas ASA Federation webmasters. They are the ones you all depend on to get the scores posted, track SOY scoring, and keep the TASA website up to date. We greatly appreciate Glenn and Celeste and the work that they do.
Remember. All of the people mentioned above are volunteers. They do what they do because they love 3D archery and they love putting on great events. Shake their hand and tell them thanks when you get a chance.
