Secretary's Report
December 2018
On the behalf of the ATA leadership and office, we hope you have been having an enjoyable holiday season and send wishes for a Happy and Healthy New Year. We hope that you are able to get some well-deserved rest and relaxation with family and friends.
For the ATA, a new calendar year means it is time to gather leadership nominations for Director positions on the Board and also for the position of President-elect. Please consider nominating a colleague who you believe has the talents and interest to contribute thru one of these important roles. Individuals that are nominated as a candidate for the BOD or president-elect remain under consideration for 3 years and future re-nomination is possible. While the ATA BODs provide the Nominating Committee with some general direction in regards to ensuring a balance on the BOD of the various constituencies within the ATA family, the final recommendation and selection is left in the hands of the Nominating Committee. The candidates for Director and President-elect undergo a democratic election process and the final representatives are decided through a vote by membership. The vibrancy of our Association is dependent on an active membership which includes service in various pathways to include elected office.
