Workers compensation insurance is issued by the various states, and not the USTA.
Yes. Every member is given a vote to select an individual who represents your district on the USTA Board of Directors.

For information, contact the USTA executive vice president, at 877.800.USTA (8782), extension 3209. All USTA meetings are open to our members; the Board meets annually in February or March.
