NHOTA needs YOU. We need leadership, we need membership support and we need volunteers. NHOTA's board is in the current process of reviewing all the role descriptions of our executive board in order to allow a smooth transition to vacancies on the board. These role descriptions help clarify the responsibilities and time commitment to our organization. You have no time, you say? The time commitments vary depending on the role, and NHOTA is happy to have volunteers for small jobs as well as big ones. There is a place for anyone desiring to become involved (at any level) and shape the future of OT in NH with NHOTA.

Please step up to the plate and become involved. NHOTA can only be as strong as the professionals it strives to assist. Please review the enclosed election and nomination ballots and consider nominating a friend, co-worker or even yourself for one of the vacancies.

Respectfully Submitted,
Leigh Ellen Watt, OTR, CHT
NHOTA Executive Administrator
