There have been a lot of legislative initiatives
recently. Many of which will affect
athletic trainers. There are some others
that will also affect teachers in the public schools. If you are a secondary school athletic
trainer, like me, you could possibly be affected by all of these.
This has definitely opened my eyes to several things! I will admit, in the past, when I receive an
e-blast from NATA or SWATA I usually read the subject line then delete it. After becoming more involved and becoming a
member of the Young Professionals’ Committee, I have made a conscious effort to
read all of the communication I receive.
I never realized what I had been missing out on! There is so much information conveyed in
those e-blasts!
Recently, a friend of mine got a new job, and when
discussing salary with his employers, they used the NATA salary survey “like it
was the Bible.” However, a majority of
athletic trainers licensed and certified did not participate in the
survey. How will we get an accurate
picture of the profession as a whole if we, the members, are not willing to
provide our input?
