Governance and Communications Committee

Committee Objective

The success of an association depends on effective governance and communications. The Governance and Communications Committee was established to evaluate ATA policies and procedures, including communication methods, and to ensure that these policies and procedures function to support the Association's mission.

The Governance and Communications Committee is asked to do the following:

• review current operating procedures and make recommendations for change as applicable;
• propose new procedures that will enhance communication between members, the ATA Board of Directors, and ATA Headquarters;
• document the Association’s decision-making procedures; and
• develop governance training for new and current Association officers and directors.
