President's Message...


AMERICAN TENNIS ASSOCIATION, INC.


 

 

 

Dear Members and Friends,

The American Tennis Association members should be proud of their accomplishments over the last six years. The years have not been easy, but we are thankful for the success despite the economic difficulties of the country. Positive changes have been made in areas such as Web Site Design, Junior Participation, Updated Bylaws and Tournament Locations. There is still much work to be done, but I am confident that the next administration will be up to the task.

We are proud to be returning to Atlanta, Georgia for the 2010 Championship. Atlanta has hosted very successful ATA Nationals in past years. The host committee is working hard to make sure you have a great time.

As this is my last address as President, I would like thank each and everyone for having the confidence in me to lead such a prestigious organization. I hope to see you in Atlanta.

 

Willis Thomas, Jr.,
President
