Hi all,
I know we are focused on the upcoming member meeting, but I had some time today to also compile other thoughts as part of the side project on developing a survey of why people don't join AATA. When you have time, feel free to check out the attached and after the July 13 meeting, maybe we can return to a survey of what keeps people from membership. It became a very interesting rabbit hole!
Hello Dana-
I thought your document was interesting & engaging. As someone trying to get more involved in these membership communities, I resonated with what most of the document said about to apathy regarding the value of being in professional organizations. I was disheartened in my masters program with how we could not get students in our program to engage, it felt like such a missed opportunity to develop community & a supportive network of peers.
Hello again!
In the spirit of transparency and communication, below are the topics ATE will focus on for the upcoming AATA Meeting. While they may be refined before the meeting, these provide an overall idea for your convenience and awareness:
Plans for AATA Meeting on July 13th

Hi Dana!
Really good point! I have made the suggested modifications, which can be found in the ATE Google Drive.
There was discussion about why AATA would hesitate on this idea, aligning with your perspective. The plan is to inquire a bit more and open up pertinent discussions and clarifications.
Thank you for your feedback and input!
Please let us know if there is more to edit and/or consider.😉
Hello everyone! Hope you are well. ☺️

I will unfortunately be on vacation but I look forward to hearing about what was discussed! :)
