tuba-euphonium workshops and conferences. To publish a journal. Ongoing organization In 2000, T.U.B.A. changed its name to the International Tuba Euphonium Association (I.T.E.A.). The change was brought about to address concerns regarding the inclusion in its name of women and euphonium players, both of whom had long been members, in order to be more representative of the organization. I.T.E.A. membership is open to all with a significant interest in the tuba and/or euphonium and requires annual dues. The association has an Executive Committee, a Board of Directors, an Honorary Advisory Board, and a Journal staff with area coordinators. It currently sponsors a biennial symposium, the International Tuba Euphonium Conference, as well as a journal, the ITEA Journal. When the international conference is not being held, regional conferences throughout the country are held instead. Past Presidents H.
