Landra Solansky, Court Administrator of the Seguin Municipal Court, has been selected as the recipient of the President's Award. From the moment she stepped into her role as Treasurer of TMCA, she has gone above and beyond those duties. She serves on 4 Committees, and chairs the Building Committee. The duties of the treasurer are a full-time job on their own. She makes them look easy and is always available to any Board Member who has any questions. She spearheaded a postcard campaign to try and boost our membership numbers, mailing a postcard to every municipal court in the state. When the Board voted to offer Challenge Coins for a donation, she readily stepped up to monitor the donations and mail the Coins to our supporters. Her help with planning conferences over the years has been nothing short of a Godsend. From trips to Fredericksburg to look at hotels, booking speakers, to looking at menus, and meeting with vendors to find a venue and caterer for our banquet, she was with me every step of the way. They say it takes a village, so I always want Landra to be a part of my village. |
