Thank you Everyone!!! What a great Day!!!

 

We cannot be more proud and thankful for such a great turnout. This would not have been possible without your support, dedication, and commitment to occupational therapy. To all of the academic programs that adjusted their class schedules to allow their students to participate, **THANK YOU**. To everyone who flew in, drove in, and rode the bus, **THANK YOU**. To our capstone student, Abrianna Pellegrino, who created the big spreadsheet, **THANK YOU**. To Jackson/Walker's Denise Rose, Taylor Cummins, and Eliza Martinez, for scheduling appointments, getting the recognitions, and opening doors, **THANK YOU**.

I want to share these quotes because I cannot say it better: "I want to give a huge shout out to all the students, you represented our profession well" (Gloria Jeffery); "Thanks to all the clinicians and professors who lead by example and demonstrated that advocacy works" (Sue Ram).

 It's amazing what we can accomplish together.  I encourage you to stay engaged, get involved, and join TOTA, the only profession that advocates for occupational therapy in Texas.

 Best 
Judi
