TAUD's Tournament Trail th Celebrates 10 Season Kirk Smith | Business Development Tennessee Association of Utility Districts
N
ext spring, the TAUD Tournament Trail will celebrate its tenth season of fishing tournament events for the members of the Tennessee Association of Utility Districts. Created for the purpose of engaging more of our members, TAUD built this program from a single tournament to a multi-series of stops across the Volunteer State. Originally known as the Operator Expo Bass Tournament, members participating in the tournament wanted an opportunity to fish with other members closer to their part of the state. This demand helped us create what is known today as the TAUD Tournament Trail. It also helped create a partnership between the Tournament Trail and the Tennessee Utility Education Corporation (TUEC) Scholarship Program. This partnership has been a winning combination and has built the core strength of the Tournament Trail allowing Associate Members the benefit of sponsorships which underwrite the cost of the TUEC Scholarship Program. The Tournament Trail is open to all TAUD members and we encourage anyone interested to join us for an exciting and most unique format of fishing. TAUD stands alone as the water association
