VOLUNTEER WITH OTAC!
Volunteers are the life and heartbeat of OTAC! Volunteers lead all of OTAC’s Board positions and committees and help the organization to continue to thrive and grow. The role of a volunteer as a committee or board member is to collaborate with other OT professionals and students to design, plan, and implement activities that support meeting the mission, values, and purpose of OTAC.
Are you interested in volunteering for a board position?
Would you like to volunteer on a committee?
Committees offer an interactive opportunity to collaborate with other OT professions and students, and delivering outcomes that run the Association. Committees generally meet via teleconference. Check out the calendar to see when committees are meeting.
Volunteers who are OTAC members are eligible to earn contact hours for time served as a committee or board member.
