It's a Wrap! Our 2021 ILOTA Virtual Annual Conference Has Now Concluded! ILOTA would like to sincerely thank everyone who participated in our 2021 ILOTA Virtual Annual Conference to make it so successful! From our scores of speakers to our amazing sponsors and exhibitors, we are grateful for your myriad contributions and support. And we are deeply indebted to the members of our conference planning committee who helped make this happen, in particular our conference chair, Maria Coronelli! We have already begun planning our 2022 fall conference, led by our new conference chair Veronica Fowler! Although our conference has adjourned and our Learning Management System (LMS) website has gone dark, we still encourage you to visit the Virtual Exhibit Hall which will remain open. And you can still browse our list of generous sponsors to learn more about their organizations and how they support our profession.

New Update on 2021 Illinois Licensure Cycle (October 20, 2021) We wrote our ILOTA members on October 8, 2021, with an update from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) on the 2021 Illinois Licensure Cycle. As you already may know, IDFPR has now opened their online renewal process for Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapy Assistants as noted under the "Professions Currently in Renewal" section on the IDFPR website: https://idfpr.com/Renewals/defaultSSL.asp Most of you already may have received your renewal notice via email. However, we've received a fair amount of questions from our members about the new online renewal process. So, our co-chair of ILOTA's Administration & Management Special Interest Section (SIS), Nancy Richman, has put together a few simple steps that might be helpful to you. And our ILOTA President, Anne Kiraly-Alvarez, prepared this PDF with screenshots that should prove very useful. Read more here...
