ATA president and CEO Matt Kormann was recently relieved of duties as notified by the ATA Board of Directors Executive Committee.

ATA Chairman of the Board Mark Copeland said, “The ATA Board of Directors has decided to head in a different direction. We are appreciative of the work Matt accomplished in the last four years and are thankful to him for his time working for ATA members. The Board has a tremendous amount of confidence in the current ATA staff and knows they will continue doing great work on behalf of the industry.”
