Important Notice about Website Changes

In order to provide a more streamlined, user-focused web experience on the NATA website, the NATA membership database is being moved to a new platform Sept. 19. This means a few changes to the website will occur soon. During the launch Sept. 19, the NATA website, Professional Development Center and the Career Center will be offline from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m CDT. Gather will experience a maintenance outage as well and will be back online Sept. 23. Read the new NATA Now blog to learn how to maintain member or nonmember access to nata.org and understand what to expect in the weeks to come.
