About the American Translators Association
Committees
The Association has established a number of standing and ad hoc committees to address issues that affect individual ATA members as well as the organization as a whole. Committee Chairs, all of whom must be voting members of the Association, are appointed by the ATA President.
The ATA Bylaws designate the following standing committees: Executive, Finance, Ethics, Active Membership Review, and Nominating. The purpose of each standing committee is also outlined in the Bylaws. Other committees, whether standing or ad hoc, are established as needed by the Board of Directors.
ATA is a volunteer-driven organization and member participation is the strength behind many of the Association’s programs and events. There are many opportunities for members to get involved, give back to the Association, work with fellow members, and broaden their professional network. Chairing a committee or becoming a committee member is just one way to play a more active role in the Association.
