ATaC Chairman's Report

Increased membership provides additional seat at Governing Council

The past twelve months have been particularly productive for ATAC and the profile has increased in line with the hard work and effort put in. We continue to try to do the best for our members through representation on committees, lobbying on behalf of the members and also working on items that the membership feel strongly about such as the new qualifications. Many thanks to the Management Committee members who all put in a lot of time and effort on behalf of ATAC, also thank you to the ATAC Manager Ian Stone who also works extremely hard on behalf of the membership.
