ATA Volunteers

All Committees Need Volunteers!!
ATA is divided into two groups: Member Services and Resources. Both of these groups includes a number of committees (see below). The roles and responsibilities of each committee is carefully described in ATA’s operational manual, the Red Book. Committees are made up of volunteers who work together under the leadership of a Committee Chair. Volunteers rotate in and out of positions and ATA welcomes new volunteers at all times. Can you lend a hand? Volunteer on one of ATA’s committees by contacting Joan Griffin: email hidden; JavaScript is required
