A Letter From Our President
Jenny Brown
2023-2024
ATA Section President
Greetings ATA Members and Colleagues,
Welcome to the 2023/2024 academic year!
First, thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve as your president this year. The ATA is an extraordinarily collegial group, and I feel privileged that it has been a significant part of my professional life since I was a PhD student at the University of Texas, 20-plus years ago. Over the years, I have seen the ATA change and evolve to better meet the needs of its members, but one thing remains the same – the ATA continues to be my primary professional home outside my own university.
ATA Memorial Fund
The ATA created this fund to provide a vehicle for ATA members to contribute in memory of deceased ATA members and friends.
