It was my privilege to chair this year’s AATC Nominating Committee. Selecting AATC’s 2023 officers and directors is both an honor and a tremendous responsibility. Let me begin by thanking the nominating committee for their commitment and dedication. It takes a village to run the Association. Thanks so much to committee members Patty Utley, Cayce Coon, Sarah Turner, Nicole Zaitoon, James Giddens, Bryan Downer, Jackie Cagle, and our Interim CEO Perry Pillow for helping guide us through this process.
The Association’s bylaws require me to submit our recommendations to every member – so that is what we are doing right now. The nominees below will be presented to the AATC’s Board of Directors for approval at the October 2022 meeting.
