Happy New Year NBOTC Members !!
45 YEARS in existence.
Still Going Strong!!
NBOTC Members 2019 is HERE !
AOTA conference is just around the corner. This year it will be in New Orleans, Louisiana (NOLA) on April 4-7, 2019. How many will be joining me at conference and the annual NBOTC meeting? The Caucus will call to order- the 45th Annual meeting on Friday evening at 7:00PM (see below for details).
As the Associations' oldest and first recognized Multi-cultural group, we have so many wonderful students, educators and providers within NBOTC membership. We continue to welcome and create new chapters across the country. Please send in your news so that we can share it with the membership.
We need your energy, ideas, and dedication. It is time to step up and be a part of the movement.
Ask yourself- what can you do to help out???
The NBOTC provides support, encouragement, networking, recognition, scholarship and leadership opportunities to its members. Your contribution and expertise is welcomed and expected as a member. Contact nbotcpres@gmail.com or visit the NBOTC Facebook page to sign up and offer your talents :).
Let's make 2019 productive and memorable. This is my last meeting as your president. I want to thank the hard working executive board, members and friends of NBOTC for allowing me to serve you. The past 5 years have been an experience that I will treasure forever. I have met many wonderful, energetic, students, practitioners, and educators that I call "forever friends in the profession". I am confident that the new leadership will continue to work hard to advocate on your behalf, support the mission and bring forth new ideas. NBOTC will always be in my heart and it has been a pleasure and honor.
I look forward to meeting and seeing you all in New Orleans.
-Tara C. Alexander
