Good news! Now you have until April 10th to nominate a colleague (or even yourself) who you feel would make a good potential candidate for ATA’s Board of Directors.
The 2026 Nominating and Leadership Development Committee is calling on ATA members to send their nominations to fill the following positions:
- Treasurer (one position for a one-year term)

The elections will be held online. Voting members will be sent their proxy voting information in early October.
