Home Site Map News Executive Board Committees State Links Awards Meetings & Education Organization Info Links

This Directory is provided to enhance communication among the SEATA membership and the various NATA and SEATA committees composed of members from District IX.  This listing is designed to contain all members of District IX who serve in any capacity on NATA Committees and/or on any SEATA Committee.  In some cases both NATA and SEATA Committees are structured to include State Representatives while others are not.  All committee names are hyperlinked to the respective committee listing in this same document. For best results set View Text Size to Medium.

Key to term notation used in the Leadership Directory

NATA committee positions (if any) are listed to the immediate right of the name. SEATA committee positions and state representatives are listed to the right of those positions.

  • The date shown after a committee chair, member or liaison’s name is the year that person’s term expires.

  • Terms expire in June to correspond with NATA’s annual meeting.

  • The number in parentheses following the date indicates which term is currently being served.

(0) = filling unexpired term; eligible to be considered for two more full terms

(1) = serving first term; eligible to be considered for one more full term

(2) = serving second (and final) term

In most cases NATA committee chairs serve 4 year terms and committee members and liaisons serve 3 year terms.
