OPTA DISTRICT: CENTRAL
DATE OF CHAPTER MEMBERSHIP: 1989
I am truly excited to have been slated as a candidate for Ohio Delegate to the APTA House of Delegates . I
am currently serving a one-year appointed term as Alternate Delegate . That experience will position me perfectly to continue service to the Ohio Chapter as Delegate . I have learned so much already about the work of the delegation and motion concepts . I look forward to attending the HOD in June to further my knowledge, experience and qualifications.
I have been a physical therapist for 28 years and have dedicated the last 15 years to full-time physical therapist assistant education having served as both Director of Clinical Education (2004-2009) and Program Director (2009-present) at Zane State College (ZSC) . I am a strong proponent for the PTA as I intimately understand their skill set, capabilities and value within the profession . My clinical and higher education roles have afforded me leadership positions including Ohio PTA Educators Consortium Chairperson and ZSC Faculty Senate Chairperson, that will serve me well and inform what I bring to the table as Delegate . Applicable skills include policy and procedure writing, budgetary oversight, use of Roberts Rules of Order, and successful CAPTE accreditation . I understand the need to support all members of the profession from the educational process through retirement .
I intend to monitor and support both the clinical and educational aspects of our profession as Delegate and will seek input from the constituency as I serve . Thank you in advance for your continued support and vote .
