TA63 is just a few
months away! I
cannot wait to
meet you all face-toface
in sunny Los Angeles
(October 12-15) and hope
you're as excited about our
63rd Annual Conference as
I am. The past few years
have brought us much
uncertainly, so I think we all
desperately need to feel the
connection, joy, and energy
that make each ATA Annual
Conference the highlight of
our professional year.
Together with ATA's
amazing staff and
volunteers, I'm busy working
on this year's conference,
and you can be sure we're
doing our best so that ATA63

love to welcome them to ATA!
