Officers

Since the founding of the AATF in 1927 many dedicated individuals have served as officers. The success and longevity of the association is due to their efforts. These individuals include the 34 visionary presidents who have led the AATF in two centuries and guided it through changes in status, methodological trends, technology, and growth. Innumerable contributions were made by the vice-presidents, regional representatives, editors, directors, chairs, and volunteers. The fact that that association has had only nine secretaries or executive directors has provided stability and continuity that fostered innovation while respecting tradition.
