To think- a year ago around this time we had just started the young professionals committee (and this blog), and I remember sitting and thinking...What's Next?!
As the seasons have changed, we have grown and developed, and I look forward to what's to come!
I hope you all enjoyed your summer. It was great catching up in San Antonio and in Arlington. I'm so proud to be in District 6, we are AWESOME!
Now we are all back to the grind that is August, and while I know it is busy, I hope you will take a little time to see what is going on in SWATA and NATA as the associations never rest.
The YPC collected over 200 postcards at the SWATA annual meeting in support of our current legislation, HR 1137. This project is an easy way to get involved and the more momentum we get going the better our chances are of passing this bill this year! If you want to start this project at your work place, follow this link and the easy instructions. Keep track of the number that you send, so we can measure our impact!
For all you secondary school athletic trainers...have you heard about the NATA SS Injury Surveillance Outcomes Study? Want more information, or want to be a part of the steering committee? Go here...
Need some advice on issues you are facing in the workplace? Be sure to visit the SWATA and NATA e-Mentors. They are a great group of experienced professionals that are here to answer your questions. We will be adding new mentors, and enhancing the interface soon!
The NATA presidential election starts in September, so educate yourselves about the candidates and be prepared to cast your vote when you get your electronic ballot!
Be on the look out for more to come from the young professionals committee and SWATA. I believe this will be an exciting year for athletic training!
