January/February 2022 Issue

From the President Madalena Sánchez Zampaulo president@atanet.org Twitter: @mszampaulo At the start of every new year, I find myself reflecting on the past year and focusing on what lies ahead.

November/December 2021 Issue

From the President Madalena Sánchez Zampaulo president@atanet.org Twitter: @mszampaulo As I begin my term as ATA president, I find myself reflecting on—and grateful for—how the past decade contributed to my ATA experience.

November/December 2020 Issue

From the President Ted R. Wozniak president@atanet.org 2020 has certainly been a unique and challenging year for ATA, as it has been for all of us.
