LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS (August 11, 2020) – ATA International is proud to announce that there will be a new plaque added to the H.U. Lee Gate and Garden, to express appreciation to the Founders Council for their historic and ongoing contributions to the organization.

The Founders Council consists of Grand Masters Emeritus Soon Ho Lee and In Ho Lee, and Grand Masters Richard Reed (deceased), Robert Allemier, William Clark, G.K. Lee and M.K. Lee.  The Chair of the ATA Board of Directors, Mrs. Sun C. Lee, added “This group embodies a long legacy of vision and wisdom handed down from Eternal Grand Master H.U.
