ATA Elections Background

Candidate Statements/Proposed Bylaws Amendment Online

ATA will hold its regularly scheduled election in conjunction with ATA’s 66th Annual Conference in Boston, Massachusetts, October 22–25, 2025, to elect the following:

  • President-Elect (two-year term)
  • Secretary (two-year term)
  • Treasurer (two-year term)
  • Director (three positions, each for a three-year term)

4 Ways to Become an Informed Voter

Take time to learn more about the individuals on the slate—from background to experience to what they hope to accomplish as a member of ATA’s Board. And don’t forget to vote! (Note: You must be a Voting member to participate.)

  1. Read the Candidate Statements/Proposed Bylaws Amendment Online: Read the individual candidate statements on ATA’s website to find out what skills each will bring to the Board and what they hope to accomplish, if elected. You can also read the proposed Bylaws amendment. Even if you’re not a Voting member, check out what this year’s candidates envision for ATA’s future. Read statements/proposed Bylaws amendment.
  2. Watch the recording of the “Meet the Candidates” Webinar: For those unable to attend the conference, this webinar recording provides another opportunity to get to know the candidates before casting your vote! During this webinar, candidates for ATA President-Elect, Secretary, Treasurer, as well as three positions for Director, presented their candidate platforms and answered questions. Watch Now!
  3. Breakfast with the Candidates: If you’re attending ATA’s 66th Annual Conference, you’ll have the chance to meet the candidates at breakfast on Thursday, October 23 (7:00 a.m. – 8:15 a.m.).
  4. Attend the Annual Meeting of Voting Members and Election at ATA66: Candidates will address attendees on October 23 during the Annual Meeting of Voting Members and Election (10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.).

Attention Voting Members: Important Reminders

  • Voting will take place online, starting October 2 and ending October 23 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time. There will be no paper ballots on-site at the conference.
  • ATA has partnered with Survey & Ballot Systems (SBS) to administer the 2025 elections. Voting members will receive proxy ballots and instructions by email on October 2.
  • If you are an ATA Voting member and do not receive the election email from SBS by October 3, please contact support@directvote.net.
