FROM THE PRESIDENT
An Exciting Time to Be a Member!

As I write this, ATA's Board has just wrapped up a very successful
and productive Winter Board meeting in Los Angeles at the Westin
Bonaventure Hotel, the conference hotel for ATA63 (October 12-15,
2022). We have lots of exciting things in store for you this year,
including an Annual Conference you won't want to miss! I'll leave the
details about the conference for President-Elect Veronika Demichelis to
share (see page 6), but let's just say I can't wait to welcome you to my
sunny Southern California!
O
kay, on to the
meeting! First, I
want to thank all
the volunteers who provide
reports to the Board for our
quarterly meetings. We're
always in awe of all the work
you do for our members
and the professions. These
reports help keep the Board
apprised of what you're
working on, and each year
I serve on the Board I find
myself more and more
impressed with all that's
happening in our Association
and the many benefits we
provide our members.
ATA Compensation Survey:
One of the many reports
the Board received during
the meeting was from Past
President Ted Wozniak about
the compensation survey
ATA launched last year.
This industry-wide survey
was designed to capture a
comprehensive picture of
the market for T&I services
in the U.S. You'll find a
summary of the survey
results in this issue on page
10, and the full report is
available exclusively to ATA
members for free by logging
into the Member Center area
of ATA's website (https://
bit.ly/ATA-compensation).
Thanks to all who
contributed to this effort!
As we run these surveys
every three years, the next
compensation survey will
be here before we know it.
Please keep this in mind and
consider taking the survey
when you see it land in your
inbox in 2023. Yes, it's early
for me to ask you this, but
the more data we have, the
more we all benefit!
Bylaws: As you may
remember from the results of
the 2021 election, the Bylaws
now allow for members of
any membership class to
serve on committees (see
Article III, Section 3). Thus,
the Board voted to approve a
long list of members to serve
as full members, rather than
assistants (a term I never
liked anyway!), to many of
our standing committees.
