An Associate is defined as an individual who has a non-business interest in antique tribal arts such as collectors, retired dealers, etc. If you are an active dealer or an active art professional, you must apply for, or upgrade to, Full Membership.
For Associates there is no application fee and the annual dues are $200 for 2008 and later years. Please send a check made out to ATADA to ATADA, 355 Buena Vista East #710-W, San Francisco, CA 94117, USA. After approval of your application, your name, address, phone number, and email will be listed in the ATADA directory. There will be no business name or web address listed. You must provide a phone number and e-mail address for communication with ATADA. You may choose that your phone number and/or your email be unlisted. (Contact the ATADA Executive Director if supplying an email address is a hardship for you).
For new applicants, payment of the annual dues is required at the time of application. New applications received by November 15 can be approved in time for listing in the next annual directory. Dues for renewal applicants must be paid by December 31 in order to be listed in the next annual directory. Updates of contact information may be made at any time. The update will be posted on the web immediately and will be published in the next newsletter.
ATADA Associates are required to uphold ethical standards as defined in the ATADA Bylaws, and must agree to honor the ATADA guarantee of authenticity and condition for all American Indian and Tribal Art sales.
ATADA performs background checks on all Associate applicants. The BOD (Board of Directors) must first approve your application, and has up to 30 days from receipt of your application to approve or disapprove. At this point, you will have Provisional Associate status and your contact information will be printed in the web directory and in the newsletter. The ATADA Membership has thirty days from the date of publication in the newsletter to comment on Provisional Associates. After review by the membership, you will be notified that your application has been approved or disapproved. Once full approval has been obtained, you may apply for ATADA group insurance benefits. All fees will be returned to you in the event that your application is turned down.
