ATL's national officers

ATL has eight national officers, elected by members: president; senior vice-president; junior vice-president; immediate past president; two honorary treasurers; and two honorary secretaries.

It is the national officers of ATL, along with the general secretary and her representatives, that take part in talks with government representatives and employers, on employment and education issues affecting all of ATL's members.

Once elected, the junior vice-president follows a path through the ranks, over a four-year period. In their second year they become senior vice-president, in their third, president, and finally they become immediate past president.

There are always two honorary treasurers and two honorary secretaries, one being elected each year to serve for two years.

Every five years there are elections for the position of ATL general secretary. Every member has the right to vote, and all elections are by secret postal ballot.
