A Message from Amanda Schmidt, TAGS President

Dear TAGS Members and Friends,

Welcome to 2026!  I am thrilled to serve as the President of TAGS and to continue advancing our shared mission of education, advocacy, and connection for those passionate about geriatric healthcare in Tarrant County.

This year, we are continuing a commitment that truly matters—raising $25,000 in scholarships to support local students pursuing careers in geriatrics.  It is the next generation of professionals who will have a powerful impact on our future.  This goal is only possible because of YOU!

Speaking of you—2026 is also about celebrating the heart of TAGS.  Our volunteer board and committee members are the engines behind everything we do.  I would like to take a moment to say THANK YOU!  Our volunteers give their time, talent, and energy, and I want you to know you are valued tremendously.

If you have ever thought about getting more involved, now is the perfect time!

• Join a committee and help shape our programs, fundraising, events, and faith-based meetings.  
  
• Become a TAGS Member (or renew!) and deepen your connection to elite professionals in our community.
• Invite a friend or colleague to join TAGS—our community is always better when it grows!

With your dedication, 2026 is shaping up to be a year of meaningful impact, fresh ideas, and strong connections.  I cannot wait to see what we accomplish together.

Thank you for supporting our mission.

Warm regards,

Amanda Schmidt

President, TAGS
