President's Message

Posted: June 1, 2022

Memorial Day has come and gone—we are into summer. Hopefully, all were able to slow down for the long weekend, relax, and take some time to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day—not just a long weekend and the beginning of summer, but a time to honor and remember all those who gave their lives in service to our nation.

As summer begins, and our lives slow down a little (we hope!), APTA life gets busy. On June 16, Dr. Lisa VanHoose will deliver the Linda Woodruff lecture virtually. Click here to learn more. 

Sometime in July, APTA Home Health will hold a virtual town hall so that you, our members, can provide feedback on the motions before the House of Delegates. Packet 1 was released last week and can be found online in the House of Delegates Hub.

Finally, APTA’s Leadership Congress will be held in Washington, DC, August 12-16. This will include the House of Delegates, the APTA Awards and Honors, student programming, programming for the Association Scholars, and a federal advocacy event. The Academy is seeking an alternate delegate for the House, and can nominate two student Academy members for the student programming.

Be safe, stay aware, and have a great summer!

Sincerely, 

 


 Phil Goldsmith
 President
