I just wanted to congratulate you and the ATA for organizing and executing a tremendously valuable and educational summit event. This level of professionalism and organization is normally only seen in much larger associations. I'm certain the members and invited guests were equally impressed and I for one am proud of my association with the ATA.

It's just time and money. If you're not investing your time and money with the ATA in Washington, DC, then you'll invest your time and money in compliance with additional legislation.

This year's summit was the best legislative conference I have ever attended, with top-flight speakers and excellent access to policymakers.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude and appreciation for the services and attention the ATA has provided me for nearly a year.  Upon accepting a position as the Compliance and Quality Assurance Manager of my company last year, I realized I had an extremely difficult task ahead of me.  I immediately joined the ATA and enrolled in the Regulatory Guide, which has been an invaluable source of information for me.  I feel confident that I am familiar with all applicable Teleservices laws, as well as kept up to date on all industry developments.   

I also attended the 2006 Washington Summit this year, and found it to be an exceptional conference.  All the session facilitators were outstanding, and provided a very well-rounded picture of corporate Compliance, from both the Legal and Customer Service perspectives.  I especially found the pieces on Risk Management and Responding to CIDs not only interesting, but applicable to the development of my Compliance Program. 

The ATA has been instrumental in the progress of my Compliance platform.  Without the expertise of its employees and the multitude of resources, I would not be as far along as I am in the growth of this department.

I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about the ATA and its staff - just thank you for providing such an outstanding organization! 

I look forward to attending many more ATA conferences as they take place.
