Mission + Governance
How IndiATA operates
IndiATA is a nonprofit professional membership association serving Indiana and a chapter of the American Art Therapy Association.
- Executive Board
- The officers are the President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and the Delegate and Alternate Delegate to the Assembly of Chapters. These officers constitute the Executive Board (Article III, Section 1).
- Board quorum
- A majority of the members of the Executive Board constitutes a quorum (Article V, Section 3 C). Attendance at any meeting may be in person, by proxy, or by telephone communication (Article V, Section 3 D).
- Member quorum
- Those voting members present at a meeting shall constitute a quorum.
- Committees + representatives
- Unless the bylaws specify otherwise, committees are determined by the President and approved by the Executive Board (Article VI, Section 1). The Executive Board consists of the elected chapter officers (Article V, Section 1), so Committee Chairs and Student Representatives are not members of it solely by virtue of those roles.
- Parliamentary authority
- IndiATA uses the most recently revised edition of Robert’s Rules of Order in all cases not covered by the bylaws or IndiATA’s organizing document (Article VII).
- Bylaw amendments
- Any two voting members may propose an amendment in writing, and the Executive Board approves it as to form before it goes to the voting members (Article VIII, Section 1). Proposed amendments are submitted to the voting membership at least 30 days before the deadline for receiving ballots (Article VIII, Section 2). Adoption requires a majority of the vote of the members voting, and an amendment becomes effective only after AATA approves it (Article VIII, Sections 3 and 4).
