National TSA Conference - June 27-July 1, 2025 in Nashville, TN‬ ‭IV. History of TSA‬ ‭A. The Beginning‬ ‭ he student organization began in 1962 as the Georgia Association of Industrial Arts‬ T ‭Clubs (GAIAC), beginning with ten clubs, statewide:‬ ‭‬ ‭ riarcliff High, Atlanta‬ B ‭‬ ‭Coffee County High, Douglas‬ ‭‬ ‭Commerce High, Commerce‬ ‭‬ ‭Cross Keys High, Atlanta‬ ‭‬ ‭Dalton High, Dalton‬ ‭‬ ‭Glennville High, Glennville‬ ‭‬ ‭Jeff Davis High, Hazelhurst‬ ‭‬ ‭Savannah High, Savannah‬ ‭‬ ‭Warner Robins High, Warner Robins‬ ‭‬ ‭Winder-Barrow High, Winder‬ ‭ he growth was slow the first few years, but has progressed from 10 clubs with 286‬ T ‭members to 169 clubs with approximately 3,000 members in 1979. The first committee‬ ‭of the association was appointed by‬‭Raymond S. Ginn, Jr., State Consultant of Industrial‬ ‭Arts Education‬‭, at a GEA meeting in 1960. This committee included Billy Kimbrel,‬ ‭Chairman, Coffee County High, and Norman Cooksey of Commerce High. They compiled‬ ‭suggestions for the constitution and by-laws and other suggestions for the founding of‬ ‭the club. An oral report given by Kimbrel in 1961 mentioned Norman Cooksey,‬ ‭Commerce High, as Chairman and Berkley Ruiz of Winder-Barrow High. They received‬ ‭the material from the previous year and revised it, making some additions.‬ ‭The first effective advisory council was appointed in 1962, consisting of:‬ ‭‬ ‭Berkley Ruiz, Winder-Barrow HS, Chairman;‬ ‭‬ ‭Robert Odom - Jefferson High School,‬ ‭‬ ‭Ed McLesky – Briarcliff High School;‬ ‭‬ ‭Donald Parr (Univ. of Georgia); and‬ ‭‬ ‭Raymond S. Ginn Jr.- State Club Advisor and State Industrial Arts Supervisor.‬ ‭ eflecting the curriculum and disciplines of the unit based Industrial Arts classes of the‬ R ‭time, (concentrations focused in wood shop, metal shop, drafting, handicrafts and graphic‬ ‭arts), the association was born. It gave students an opportunity to participate in activities‬ ‭beyond school hours and compete against students from other schools in 4 events:‬ ‭‬ ‭Essay Contest,‬ ‭‬ ‭Industrial Arts Club Exhibits Contest,‬ ‭‬ ‭Scrapbook Contest, and‬ ‭‬ ‭The GAIAC Sweetheart Contest.‬ ‭ he first state conference was held at the FFA/FHA camp in Covington, GA. In those days,‬ T ‭the Industrial Arts class was segregated for boys only. Those days had girls taking Home‬ ‭Economics, so the only female participation was via an honorary position called a “Club‬ ‭Sweetheart”. The Newton County FHA club brought girls to the camp for the dance.‬ ‭There was even a state competition for the overall State Club Sweetheart.‬ ‭The GAIAC Motto was: “Pride in Progress”.‬ ‭ he Creed read: “I believe in the dignity of work and that through an understanding and‬ T ‭promotion of the industrial arts, I can develop leadership, scholarship and craftsmanship‬ ‭and so be of greater service to my country and to mankind.”‬ ‭ he emblem of the Georgia Association of Industrial Arts Club consisted of a gear with 33‬ T ‭cogs and five spokes and the background of an outline of Georgia, and was adopted‬ ‭November 17-18, 1962. Symbols of each of the five instructional areas are illustrated on‬ ‭the five spokes of the gear.‬ ‭B. The 1970s‬ ‭In the late 1970s the curriculum expanded and embraced more changes. Industrial Arts‬ ‭evolved from a material focused to a “cluster concept” based curriculum. (Communication,‬ ‭production, power, energy and transportation). Female student participation grew fast,‬ ‭leading to the election of the first female president in GAIAC,‬‭Dorinda Hookings in 1976‬ ‭from Manchester High School. She became just the first in a long line of female leadership‬ ‭for years to come.‬ ‭ uring the national student association meeting at the 1978 AIAA Conference in Atlanta,‬ D ‭Georgia, the nonprofit corporation, AIASA, Inc., was formed to oversee AIASA as a separate‬ ‭organization.‬ ‭ n April 8, 1979, the GAIAC officially became the Georgia Association of AIASA adopting‬ O ‭AIASA creed, motto, emblem, and colors. During this time of change, Raymond S. Ginn, Jr.,‬ ‭assumed the title Executive Secretary.‬‭Clifford Holmes‬‭managed the transition of GAIAC to‬ ‭AIASA as the first State Advisor of GA AIASA.‬ ‭ eorgia was one of the original sixteen chartered state associations. The name was‬ G ‭changed to the Georgia Association of the American Industrial Arts Student Association.‬ ‭The leadership of the association was passed to Sam Powell and State Advisor, Harold‬ ‭Quinn.‬ ‭Symbolism of the Emblem:‬ ‭‬ T ‭ he gear blank surrounding the emblem represents all facets of American industry‬ ‭and its contribution to making America the great nation it is today.‬ ‭‬ ‭The lightning bolt represents the rapid development of today's automated world‬ ‭and the space age changes needed to meet the challenge of tomorrow.‬ ‭‬ ‭The framing square represents the degree of accuracy necessary to measure up to‬ ‭the demanding industrial society.‬ ‭‬ ‭The triangle points the way to the stars and a rapidly developing technological age.‬ ‭It is a symbol of strength in structure and represents the cooperative efforts‬ ‭necessary in achieving our goals.‬ ‭‬ ‭The mallet represents the dignity of work and its necessity in achieving success in‬ ‭an industrial society.‬ ‭The Emblem Colors‬ ‭ carlet (Red): Represents the strength and determination of the industrial arts students‬ S ‭and teachers to obtain their goals. White: Represents the high standards, morals, and‬ ‭religious beliefs we hold. Navy Blue: Represents the sincerity of the industrial arts students‬ ‭and teachers in obtaining a greater knowledge of our technical world.‬ ‭C. The 1980s‬ ‭T‭h‬ e decade of the 80s saw even more change. The curriculum content continued to evolve‬ ‭toward Technology Systems Education. Students on both levels competed in 10 identical‬ ‭official events that reflected the skills being taught during those days.‬ ‭ ith the growth of the organization, the state conference was moved to Macon and held at‬ W ‭the Hilton Hotel. New events were added, LSRAV- “Land Speed Record Assault Vehicle”‬ ‭(later Metric500 and now called Dragsters), Dream House, Outstanding Service, Safety‬ ‭Poster and Outstanding Chapter. GA AIASA continued phenomenal growth during this‬ ‭time.‬ ‭ lso in 1982, the student association added a seventh state officer to join the President,‬ A ‭Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Reporter, and Sergeant at Arms. To guarantee junior‬ ‭high representation on the executive committee, the office of Second Vice President was‬ ‭created.‬ ‭ he association’s conference participation outgrew the space in Macon and moved its April‬ T ‭state conference to Atlanta and the Radisson/Castlegate Hotel in 1984.‬ ‭In addition to the Annual State Conference, the association provided two “Leadership‬ ‭ onferences' ', one in north Georgia and one in the south. North Georgia chapters attended‬ C ‭the conference at Berry College and Georgia Southern University hosted the South Georgia‬ ‭version.‬ ‭ lso there was a separate “Planning Conference'' held in Atlanta, specifically for planning‬ A ‭the thirteen competitive events of the Annual Spring Conference.‬ ‭ n the national level, GA AIASA emerged as one of the top associations. Georgia was‬ O ‭undefeated in Outstanding State competition on both Jr. and Sr. High Levels, a title awarded‬ ‭to the state that earned the most points from their chapter’s awards during the national‬ ‭conference.‬ ‭ omputer Aided Drafting was introduced as a pilot event in 1987 in Baton Rouge,‬ C ‭Louisiana.‬ ‭ ith the retirement of Harold Quinn, the position of State Advisor was filled by former‬ W ‭Berry College professor, Ronald Barker in 1986. Fueled by the leadership of Powell and‬ ‭Barker and grant money from the new Georgia Lottery, Georgia curriculum and classrooms‬ ‭began a revolutionary transformation to Technology Education statewide. Georgia led the‬ ‭nation in this conversion process. A new, student centered, classroom design emerged.‬ ‭Beginning in 1988 at the middle school level, two schools, Dalton Middle and North Clayton‬ ‭Middle School became the first to provide modular curriculum to students.‬ ‭ ationally, the conversion to Technology Education from Industrial Arts prompted National‬ N ‭AIASA to consider a name change to reflect the new direction. At the 1988 National‬ ‭Conference, held in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, student delegates voted to change the‬ ‭name to the Technology Student Association (TSA). In 1989 the official TSA logo was‬ ‭designed by TSA chapter advisor Steve Price of Georgia. The membership adopted the logo‬ ‭through a national vote, for use on the national, state and local levels. The evolution also‬ ‭involved merging the Fall Planning Conference with the two Leadership Conferences and‬ ‭holding them on Jekyll Island in November of 1989.‬ ‭D. The 1990s‬ ‭The decade of the 1990s saw even more change. Long-time State Director of Technology‬ ‭Education, Sam Powell retired and Ron Barker was promoted to fill the position. The‬ ‭ ssistant director position was not filled due to a budget freeze. Barker continued to‬ a ‭assume the job of State Advisor.‬ I‭ n 1991 the overall “Outstanding Chapter” and “State” were eliminated as awards on the‬ ‭national level. The state chose to continue to recognize an award for the top winning‬ ‭chapters on both levels. In 1991, advisor Steve Price was appointed to the National TSA‬ ‭Competitive Regulations Committee, where he still serves. The state conference was‬ ‭moved from Atlanta to Perry, Georgia and the GA National Fair grounds in 1995.‬ ‭Competitive events continued to evolve to reflect the new technologies being introduced in‬ ‭the co-curricular classroom curriculum. In addition, the middle school events were designed‬ ‭specifically for the middle school student and likewise for the high school. More computer‬ ‭related events were added in this decade, along with events involving video, radio control,‬ ‭flight, computer troubleshooting, problem solving and others.‬ I‭ n 1996, the official competitive events were separated into two distinct levels and each‬ ‭had event guides designed for each. By the end of the 1990s, TSA provided a combination‬ ‭of over 60 events to its middle school and high school members.‬ ‭ tate leadership went through a few years of minor changes. Ms. Nancy Beggs was placed‬ S ‭in charge of GA TSA for two years in the late 90s followed by Mr. Ron Barker being‬ ‭reinstated as the State Advisor. A new position was created by the state department, the‬ ‭State Association Director. The first was Mrs. Gayle Silvey.‬ ‭E. 2000s‬ ‭GA TSA entered the 21st Century a vastly different student organization than it began in‬ ‭1962. During the first decade of the 2000s two more state sponsored events were added‬ ‭and GA TSA hosted The National TSA Conference in Atlanta in 2000 for the first time since‬ ‭the 1978 charter year. In 2000, “Tech Day” was added as a competitive showcase for TSA at‬ ‭the GA National Fair. Students competed in 10 events that served to promote TSA at the‬ ‭highly attended annual event. Students could win cash prizes and ribbons for a 1st through‬ ‭10th place award.‬ I‭ n 2003 State President, George Ray of Fitzgerald HS and State Secretary, Jonathan‬ ‭Saethang of Riverdale HS proposed and designed a new training conference for local‬ ‭chapter officers to be held at the FFA/FCCLA Camp in Covington, GA. It was named‬ ‭“CORE”, for Chapter Officer Retreat for Excellence, scheduled for September 2004, it‬ ‭became the first of the annual conferences held each year.‬ ‭ he next milestone for GA TSA was the election to the National TSA Board of Directors of,‬ T ‭(then) Riverdale HS Advisor, Steve Price, who became the first classroom teacher to be‬ ‭elected as president and CEO of National TSA, Inc. in 2006. In 2007, former GA TSA State‬ ‭President, Terri Hancock assumed the role of State Director. In 2008 the state conference‬ ‭was moved from Perry to the Classic Center in Athens, GA, where it is held today. CORE‬ ‭became so well attended that it had to be relocated in 2009 to its present location at‬ ‭Tumbling Waters Resort in the mountains of Clayton, GA. Likewise, the Fall Leadership‬ ‭Conference left Jekyll Island the same year and moved to St. Simons Island. Revolutionary‬ ‭new events, recognized by National TSA and related to current classroom curriculum‬ ‭appeared, international events such as F1 in Schools and now the VEX Robotics‬ ‭Championships and continue to fuel the evolution of GA TSA.‬ ‭F. Current‬ ‭GA TSA has maintained one of the largest state membership in the United States for the‬ ‭past several years. During the 2011-12 school year GA TSA celebrated its 50th Anniversary‬ ‭ nder the guidance of State Advisor, Ron Barker, Interim State Director, Sylvia Phillips and‬ u ‭then State Director, Ashley Hopkins.‬ I‭ n 2012 there was a major "changing of the guard". Ron Barker retired and Mark Crenshaw,‬ ‭a long-time Engineering classroom teacher and TSA Advisor, was hired as the State‬ ‭Department of Education Engineering & Technology Education Program Specialist. In‬ ‭addition, the association hired Steve Price, a 32 year veteran Middle School and High‬ ‭School Georgia Engineering & Technology Education Teacher and TSA Advisor, to assume‬ ‭the role of State Executive Director. Steve has served as Chairman of the GA AIASA and‬ ‭TSA Advisory Council for a total of 14 years and served as chairman for a total of 8 years.‬ ‭Nationally he was president of National TSA in 2005-06 and President of the ITEEA during‬ ‭2013-14 school year. He has held a position on the National TSA Competitive Events‬ ‭Committee since 1991. In 2015, DOE Program Specialist, Mark Crenshaw left that role to‬ ‭be a System CTAE Director. Filling that position as of February, 2016, was former middle‬ ‭school technology education teacher and later Director of CTAE in Rockdale County. He‬ ‭was the director of the very successful Rockdale Career Academy. Roger is no stranger to‬ ‭the student association. You will find him on our History Page, on our former state officer‬ ‭list as part of the 1980-81 GA AIASA State Officer team as State Treasurer, from Newton‬ ‭County HS.‬ ‭ ver the course of time since the National Association was chartered in 1978, GA TSA has‬ O ‭produced 15 elected National Officers.‬‭See complete officer team/national officer list on‬ ‭the State Officer Page in the About Section of the GATSA website.‬ I‭ n 2016, the first ever National President from Georgia was elected, Jack Crawford of‬ ‭Lowndes High School served during the 16-17 school year. Alexander King was elected as‬ ‭the second ever the National TSA Student Association President from Georgia, serving for‬ ‭the 2018-2019 school year.‬ ‭ t the 2017 National Conference, Executive Director and State Advisor, Steve Price was‬ A ‭recognized as National TSA’s State Advisor of the Year for 16-17.‬ ‭ 018 marked the 10th year that our annual State Leadership Conference has been held in‬ 2 ‭Athens, GA. In honor of that milestone and their work with our executive director and in‬ ‭honor of his recognition as State Advisor of the Year, The City of Athens recognized Steve‬ ‭Price with a proclamation declaring that day, “Steve Price Day” in Athens. The mayor of‬ ‭Athens also presented Mr. Price with the Key to the City of Athens, GA.‬ ‭ ater that summer, June 2018, Georgia TSA hosted very close to 8000 participants at the‬ L ‭40th Annual National TSA Conference in Atlanta. The National Association (AIASA) was‬ ‭created in 1978 during the joint conference with the national teachers association AIAA‬ ‭(now ITEEA) in Atlanta.‬ ‭ fter another record year both in membership and conference attendance in 2018-19. GA‬ A ‭TSA’s Alexander King presided over the National TSA Conference, in Washington DC.‬ ‭There, Tate Green from Lowndes High School was elected as 2019-20 National Sgt at Arms.‬ ‭Tate represented the seventeenth National Officer from GA TSA and eighth consecutive‬ ‭year that there was a National Officer from GA.‬ ‭ he 2019-20 school year set new membership records with GA TSA continuing to lead‬ T ‭National TSA in the number of High School Chapters and Total Chapters. 161 and 247‬ ‭respectively. The association completed three conferences leading into the 2020 State‬ ‭Conference which had nearly 3000 registered. The largest GA TSA Conference in history.‬ ‭On March 12th, a Thursday, the state announced extreme measures in reaction to a rising‬ ‭pandemic across the country and world. We were at the end of the first full day of‬ ‭competition, when the governor announced that it was advised that schools close beginning‬ ‭on the following Monday. Several school systems recalled their students on Friday Morning.‬ ‭The board of directors developed a plan where we were able to complete a shortened‬ ‭schedule and hold the Awards Session on Friday night, allowing schools the option of‬ ‭leaving Friday night. The Coronavirus continued to ruin the school year with schools going‬ ‭to on-line virtual classrooms through the end of the school year. National TSA was forced to‬ ‭cancel the 2020 National Conference which was to be held in Nashville, Tennessee. This‬ ‭was the first time in TSA history that had happened.‬ ‭ 020 brought a worldwide pandemic challenge to normal life, schools and jobs. GA TSA was‬ 2 ‭in the middle of its 58th State Conference in Athens, GA when our governor announced the‬ ‭need to close schools starting the following Monday. The announcement was for what was‬ ‭to be a couple of weeks. Some school systems forced their TSA Chapters to return home‬ ‭the next day. The Board of Directors accelerated judging and GA TSA was able to complete‬ ‭the conference and conclude with an awards session on Friday night. Sadly we were the last‬ ‭CTSO to hold their in person conference that school year. The two week shut down‬ ‭stretched for months with the 2020-21 school year being converted to virtual classrooms‬ ‭over the internet. GA TSA took the challenge and produced all four annual conferences‬ ‭virtually, while still providing hands-on challenges for its members. Even though the covid‬ ‭restrictions hurt membership on the TSA National level, our chapters still led the nation‬ ‭with the most chapters and most high school chapters, as well as the second most middle‬ ‭schools.‬ ‭GA TSA celebrated its 60th (Diamond Anniversary) year in the 2021-2022 school year.‬ ‭ A TSA will continue to inspire Learning, Talent, Leadership, Service and Pride in our‬ G ‭members for years to come.‬ ‭V.
