In honor of National Volunteer Month in April, NATA would like to thank all of its volunteers for their hard work, dedication and impact. Without them, we couldn’t do what we do.
In 2022, more than 1,340 members volunteered with NATA. From serving on a committee to reviewing potential convention programming submission, every volunteer’s efforts contributed to the success of NATA and assisted in meeting the needs of the membership.
With the 74th NATA Clinical Symposia & AT Expo taking place June 21-24 in Indianapolis, now is a great time to create your schedule and plan of action. While you can use the NATA convention website to determine which sessions you want to attend, don’t forget to add places to eat and things to do to your itinerary.
The April NATA News features the article, “Talking Social Determinants of Health,” which outlines what ATs need to know in order to become more comfortable discussing them with their patients and athletes.
Veteran ATs are invited to attend the NATA Connection and Engagement Committee Meet and Greet at 11 a.m. CST March 29. This free event is an opportunity to learn about the committee as well as NATA’s various member resources.
