Secretary's Report May 2020
The ATA is going through a time of transition in more than one way. Our members are adapting professionally and personally to the challenges of maintaining our activities as we continue to deal with the coronavirus. Strange new words and phrases have become part of our vocabulary: self-quarantine, social distancing, flattening the curve. At the same time, we are all witnessing the resilience and strength of our members as they stay connected, provide education, and engage with colleagues and patients through virtual means. I am sure, like me, you are personally aware of the courage and commitment of our colleagues as they take their place on the front lines, or step up for additional duties and responsibilities so that others can use their skills on the front line.
Our other transition is an exciting one with two components that signal a new era for the ATA. As of May 11th, Amanda K. Perl became the new Executive Director of the ATA. In parallel with Amanda joining us, our beloved Bobbi Smith will assist Amanda with her introduction to the ATA, and as she completes her full time employment, she will assume a new position of Executive Director Emerita. So please join me in offering a warm welcome to Amanda and congratulation to Bobbi for her well-deserved title.
