About
ATA With the
Africa Travel Association's 30th Jubilee
Congress in 2005, the excitement is
mounting as our magazine's editors and New
York office staff are going through the
archives in our effort to present a
landmark souvenir capsule of ATA's
progress up to the present time. The above
profile is one important step in that
direction, as the association's great
strength is the caliber of people in its
chapters and on its Board of
Directors. ATA
