How often does the Board meet?
The Board meets four times a year. ATA members are welcome to attend. Look for scheduled Board meetings on ATA’s online calendar.
What does the Board do?
ATA’s Bylaws assign the Board the management of the “property, affairs, business, and concerns of the Association.” Check out a typical Board meeting agenda from earlier this year.
Is there a way to find out what happened at a Board meeting?
Yes! A meeting summary is published on the ATA website shortly after each Board meeting. This is a quick update, not the meeting minutes. Look for an announcement of the meeting summary in ATA Newsbriefs and in the meantime check out past Board meeting summaries.
