Other than the ITC, the ATA does not publicly express approval of (or support for) an event, activity, or product that is already substantially planned or has been developed by an outside entity.  In some cases, partnerships will be created for events where there are mutually agreeable goals and a clear understanding of benefits to the ATA.

Organizations interested in partnering with the ATA on an event or initiative which would have clear mutually beneficial goals should submit a proposal to the ATA Executive Director that outlines the aims of the event/initiative, details on the planning committee and sponsoring organization and the anticipated benefits for the ATA and its members.
