OTA LEADERSHIP of our industry on several topics of importance to our businesses.

Again the jury is out about how effective we may have been in presenting our views, however, as quoted by Thomas Jefferson and included in ATA’s orientation materials, we know and believe the following: “We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate.”
