Updated September 21, 2022
Beginning Monday, September 12, AATA voting members have the chance to shape the future of our association by voting in our election for AATA’s leaders and proposed governance changes.
As AATA President Girija Kaimal, EdD, MA, ATR-BC, explained during the August All Member Meeting, AATA is evolving to meet the changing needs of our members and examining all our work through a DEI lens — in order to create a more inclusive future for our association and our profession. As part of this effort, the AATA Board has proposed four changes to our association’s bylaws, which are now on the ballot for our members’ approval.
