Dear Illinois AOTA members please read below about the AOTA Procedural & Organization Change Ad Hoc Committee:

This committee recently met to initiate their work and if you review the AOTA 1-minute update http://www1.aota.org/1MinUpdate/links/10-12-10gen.htm from yesterday, it includes the executive summary of the Ad Hoc Committee’s initial meeting, as well as a survey.  The survey was established to seek member feedback, in an effort to involve all AOTA members.  The committee is seeking feedback on their draft design specifications, which will guide the group's decision making. “The primary goal of the committee is to develop recommendations for an AOTA governance structure that optimizes member participation and expeditiously propels the occupational therapy profession towards the Centennial Vision.”

Please take a moment to review the Design Specifications for Desired Outcomes (in the Executive Summary), viewable at the following link:

And most importantly, please complete the survey (AOTA Members Only)  http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22B8QYFP3FH

and encourage your peers who are AOTA members to also take time to complete the survey as well!   As an AOTA member, your input and voice are essential to this committee, who will be utilizing the information during the November meeting.

Sincerely,

Robin Jones, MPA, COTA/L, ROH

Illinois Representative to the RA
