Give Yourself "A LEGG UP"
ESTA's resource page is A LEGG UP, named for and established as a tribute to a long standing member of ESTA, Ruth R. Legg. Ruth furnished years of support and experience to ESTA, last serving as its President. She was also a longtime contributing volunteer for her state organization, TANYS, who honored her by creating Legg Up on the TANYS website, where you can find several articles of interest.
