Membership Testimonial
“My NATA membership was the key to the door on my career. After joining as a student member during my undergraduate days, and rejoining years later prior to BOC certification, the NATA has given me the opportunity to pursue a career in professional baseball, and along the way, actually attend a World Series with my team as one of the participants. The NATA made that career path possible, and made that dream come true. ”
