Spring 2026

Letter from TSMA president

Hello to TSMA members, associates, and friends!

As we step into spring, we’re excited to share what’s ahead for our organization and reflect on the momentum we’ve built so far this year. The energy within our community continues to grow, and it’s been great to see so many members staying engaged, making connections, and supporting one another.

We’re looking forward to our upcoming May meeting on May 12th at Clyde Machines.

From Alexandria to Grand Forks - Thank You, Terry Hill, for Inspiring the Future

It is with deep gratitude that we bid farewell to our team member Terry Hill, who will be leaving the area and relocating to Grand Forks to pursue new professional opportunities. Terry has been a terrific part of our Dream Team, readily available to help out and inspire students with his passion and commitment. He has been a strong ambassador for our profession and all the opportunities it provides. Thank you so much, Terry, and best wishes in all that lies ahead. We will miss you!
