Governing Council
The Governing Council oversees the operations of GACTA and supports its purposes
Contact UsGACTA has no paid staff or support. Everyone is graciously volunteering their time and expertise.
The Governing Council is composed of the Chairs of the six Standing Committees as well as one consumer/family representative. The President and Vice-president are elected from this group for two year terms. The Chairs of each standing committee set their respective operational terms, and the committees as a whole determine priorities of focus.
