ATRA Midwest Chapter

The Midwest Chapter was founded by Al Tank in the 1970's era. Long time Board Officers included Red Girdley, Ed Howe, Al Tank,and Denny Stearns. The Midwest Chapter Seminars were organized by these men when no one else was available. They developed strong ties with our Industries top suppliers,which continue to strongly support the Midwest Chapter today.Red Girdley had the ability to seek out individuals to become Chapter Board Officers, many of which continue to serve today. The Midwest Chapter annually arranges 3 area seminars in Minneapolis, Des Moines and Chicago. The Chapter awards gift certificates,arranges hospitalities,provides business seminars,chapter meetings, and is currently working on a tech school scholarship program.
