Our team includes the Board of Directors (BoD) and its Executive Committee.
ATA-NC members elected the Board of Directors for 2026 during the annual meeting held on Sunday, February 8, 2026. The Executive Committee was selected through an anonymous vote by the Board of Directors.
Executive Committee members and the directors do not receive any compensation for their services, and all their efforts are voluntary.
We also have several organization committees, such as ATA-NC administration, membership, communications, fundraising, youth group, Republic Day Gala, and Children’s Day Festival. These committees are crucial to the success of our organization and are open to all members. Let us know if you would like to be part of any of the committees and volunteer your time and skills.
