NATA Now

Since the NATA restructure was announced in November 2024, staff has been evaluating projects, initiatives and workload to ensure the national office is still meeting the members’ needs as we right-size.

As a result of this evaluation process, the NATA Marketing & Communications Department has made the decision to take NATA News from a monthly publication to a bimonthly publication.
