Hail to the Chief

(I'm a little frustrated right now, as I just wrote out an awesome, motivating, compelling voting blog...and then deleted it. Sweet. You will just have to take my word for it. VOTE!)

There is an important election going on in NATA right now that could have great effect on the future of our association and profession. I'm sure you think I say that about everything, but I swear it is true.

The NATA president is the face of athletic training and the National Athletic Trainers' Association to other organizations, sponsors and often the media. S/he with the Board of Directors drive our association's focus over the coming years and are critical to continuing to evolve NATA. It's kind of a big deal.

The candidates are:
Current NATA President Marje Albohm, MS, ATC and former District 2 Director Joe Iezzi, MS, ATC, PES.
Both attended our annual meeting in Arlington, so you may have had a chance to meet them!

To find out more information about the candidates visit the NATA Website and look for Face Time '09 for their platforms. For a Q & A with them visit the YPC section of the website, and check out the July issue of the NATA News.

You should have received your electronic ballot on (or about) September 1st. If you didn't, e-mail amyc@nata.org and she will get you set up. Do this before September 30th when voting closes!

YOUR VOTE COUNTS! There is no time like now to make your IMPACT on the association felt.
