  3. NATA’s various committees (currently more than 25) have many purposes, but they all share a common goal: to help carry out the work of NATA under the direction of the NATA Board of Directors. Our committees represent the major athletic training practice settings and other constituencies, as well as the major activity areas of the association. Each committee has an NATA member as chairperson. The chairs work with committee members and NATA staff liaisons to accomplish the committees’ goals.

The athletic training component operates as a federation of districts, which are independent in matters within their territories but at the same time are integrated nationally into the whole, which is NATA. Today, 10 district athletic trainers’ associations align with the several regional associations. These districts operate independent of NATA, choose their own officers and craft their own agendas and bylaws. The also elect district directors, which constitutes the NATA Board of Directors.
