Committees and Task Forces

Our members are important contributors to implementing our strategic plan and developing ATA’s programs and services.  They do so by participating on committees and task forces.

Standing Committees work on a variety of initiatives including advising on policy, creating educational programs, developing patient education materials, and supporting membership recruitment and retention.  Committee members serve multi-year terms and are appointed by the President to serve in these roles.

Task Forces are ad-hoc groups with a specific task that is outside the scope of an existing committee and focuses on a timely issue.  These are typically short-term, focused groups and are also appointed by the President.
