As we
celebrate our third birthday, we bring you a
new National Executive Leadership Team to
carry forward what the founding leaders
envisioned. Similarly, you will see changes
in the chapter organizational structures to
facilitate cross-organization communication
of like functions. The only constant is
change, and you should directly benefit from
it - we are here to serve you!
This team,
through shared leadership, is the voice of
ATW's chapters back to our governing board
and corporate officers, who are reflected on
the Board of Directors page.
Please join us
in celebrating this new chapter in our
history!
