Dear ATAA Component Association President:
The ATAA has enjoyed a busy and successful administration year since our last AOD meeting on January 16, 2021. We continue to effectively manage our resources, while maintaining focus on our mission and its implementation.
Due to COVID-19, this year’s Assembly of Delegates (AOD) meeting will be held virtually through Zoom application on Sunday, January 23, 2022 at 1:00pm EST. Delegates will be able to access the meeting from their own homes, and will not need to travel!
The AOD meeting details and supporting materials will be sent to all members at a later date.
ATAA Component Associations who are in good standing (Components who have paid their annual dues on or after January 23, 2021) can participate in the Annual Delegates meeting. We urge you to promptly pay your component association dues ($250) onlineÂ
here if not paid already. You may also mail your payment along with the membershipÂ
form to 6003 Tower Ct., Alexandria, VA 22304 or fax to 202.483.9092.
According to Section 6 of Article IV of the ATAAÂ
Bylaws, it is required that you send the list of your allotted delegates who will be attending the meeting to the ATAA Secretary General. The number of delegates to which a component association is entitled at the AOD shall be determined by the number of their Affiliated Members in good standing (members who have paid their dues on or after January 23, 2021). The members of the Assembly of Delegates shall be two delegates from each component association and one additional delegate for each one hundred (100) Affiliated Members and major fractions thereof.
We kindly request that each component association forward its list of delegates and alternates, and the list of their Affiliated Members to the ATAA Secretary by Friday, January 14, 2022 so that proper credentialing of the delegates can be accomplished.
The information can be sent:
- By e-mail to assembly@ataa.org
- By fax to the ATAA office to (202) 483-9092
- By mail to the ATAA office at 6003 Tower Ct., Alexandria, VA 22304
Please also send a short written report of your Component Association's activities of the last 12 months. Include your comments, wishes and recommendations. We will compile and distribute them at the meeting.
I have attached the section of the ATAA Bylaws which pertains to the Assembly of the Delegates and tentative agenda for your information. Roberts Rules of Order will be followed at the meeting.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you attending AOD meeting.
Sincerely,
Nilufer Esen Bilgin
ATAA Secretary
