NATA Now

Get ready for a special week as NATA celebrates its first-ever Member Appreciation Week Nov. 16-20!

This week was created as a way for NATA to say “thank you” to members for their commitment to the athletic training profession and the instrumental role they play in the success of the association.

In his November NATA News column, NATA President Tory Lindley, MA, ATC, discusses NATA’s new Compromised Sports Safety in Secondary Schools program.

Home to athletic trainers throughout their careers, NATA provides its members access to professional growth, support, connection and advocacy. Through this semiweekly blog series, members will share what made them join NATA, the value of membership and how, together, we are NATA. Don’t forget, the deadline to renew your 2021 NATA membership is Dec. 31. Renew or join today and learn more about the benefits of NATA membership.

For someone who belongs to a marginalized or minoritized group, having an ally can have a significant impact, especially on their emotional and mental well-being. To assist athletic trainers, the NATA Ethnic Diversity Advisory Committee and NATA LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee teamed up to create the How to Be an Ally infographic handout, published in the November NATA News.
