The NADTA Nominating Committee is still seeking nominees for Treasurer and President for the 2021-2023 NADTA Board.
For the position of President, we are opting to open up the endorsement process for this position to ANY current RDT whose membership is in good standing (meaning: up to date and active, with no pending ethics investigations). Our hope is to cast a wider net for strong applicants to lead our organization in the coming term. We are taking this opportunity to “think outside the box” and invite different voices to the table.
Please reach out to the Nominating Committee directly if you are interested in these roles. We are hoping to solidify a ballot within a week for all of our other roles so we can set up the election process for next month, but will keep our search for a nominee for President open until 7/26/21.
We can be reached directly as individuals, or as a group, via email at [email protected].

Happy Juneteenth!
•
We recognize that on this day in 1865, months after the Emancipation Proclamation is signed, enslaved Black people in Texas finally learn about it when Union troops arrive and tell them that the Confederacy lost the Civil War.
•
While this is a time of celebration, we must also acknowledge and hold the continued struggle. While certain freedoms have been won, liberation work and decolonization must be ongoing! Shackles both mentally and physically may have been removed from descendants of the African diaspora back in 1865, but we must grapple with the fact that those chains continue to exist both literally and metaphorically today. We must recognize the ways in which we are holders of these chains and how we individually and collectively as an organization perpetuate white supremacy.
•
Today and everyday, we must highlight ugly truths such as living in a society that will acknowledge Juneteenth as a federal holiday, paying folx to have a day off to clap for progress as a means of distraction while laws are passed to ban true American history from classrooms and to hide the fact that this country refuses to pass an anti-lynching bill in 2021.
•
With these ugly truths also comes beauty. Beauty in the form of resistance. Beauty in the form of Black souls resting and finding joy today. Beauty in reparation, acknowledging, crediting, and supporting Black folx.
•
Join us in actively engaging in this complexity today!
