A Message of Gratitude to Pat Ayers

To the ATRA Community,

I am writing today to publicly recognize and express my deepest gratitude to Pat Ayers as they conclude an incredible six-year tenure on the ATRA Board of Directors.

Six years is a profound commitment, and Pat’s time on the board has been defined by unwavering dedication, strategic insight, and a passion for our industry. Navigating the evolving landscape of our organization requires visionary leadership, and Pat has consistently provided exactly that. Their contributions have been instrumental in shaping ATRA’s direction and strengthening the community we all serve.

On a personal note, working alongside Pat has been an absolute privilege. I have deeply valued their support, guidance, and collaborative spirit. Pat’s unique perspective and commitment to our mission have not only helped steer our organization through key milestones but have also been a constant source of inspiration to the entire leadership team and me.

While Pat is stepping down from their formal role on the Board of Directors, the lasting impact of their six years of service will be felt across ATRA for years to come.

Please join me in thanking Pat Ayers for his outstanding service, leadership, and dedication to ATRA. We wish him the absolute best in all his future endeavors.

With highest regards and appreciation,

Lance Wiggins
