To contact the entire ATI Board at once, please email board@alexandertechniqueinternational.org. 

The Board meets regularly to conduct the business of ATI.  The purpose is to act for the membership between ACGMs to advance and further the purposes and objectives of ATI. The officers serve as Executive Committee of the Board and may meet separately to discuss/prepare issues outside of a regular Board meeting.

Every member of ATI can help shape the organization by becoming a committee member.  ATI believes that having new members work with current members helps us to remain fresh, with new energy and ideas injected from new people as committees grow and turnover.  Please consider joining one of the committees listed below: contact the Chair of the committee of your choice to find out more about contributing to the committee.  Our individual volunteers are of great value to ATI‘s ever-changing shape, and the committee work in turn allows our volunteers to develop and learn by being a vital part of what is going on in our organization.
