Membership of The TAS Network is not a passive thing. Those that put the most in get the most out. Our membership requirements are higher than both the Society of Will Writers and the IPW. But we are worth it.
We work on the principles of –
-
Sharing – Best Practice and Marketing Initiatives

Respect – Our members are the best, our trainers the highest quality.
-
Peer Support – we support each other with answers to technical issues.
