*As an ATRA member in the state of Ohio, a group of your peers seeks support for starting a new Chapter Affiliate in Ohio (OTRA/Ohio Therapeutic Recreation Association or ORTA/Ohio Recreation Therapy Association), per protocol from the ATRA Chapter Affiliate Council. The previous CDARTA (Cincinnati-Dayton Area Recreation Therapy Association) has folded and a new state chapter affiliate must be created from scratch. This will allow local opportunities to network and provide continuing education in the state of Ohio for recreation therapists through conferences/workshops.
*If you are interested in being a founding member (whether in a leadership role or as a general member), please sign this petition. In order for the petition to pass, 50% +1 ATRA members in the state of Ohio must sign, and there must be at least 15 members to start a chapter.
*If the required number of signatures are secured, you will be contacted regarding the next steps in this process (organizing a general membership meeting to establish a Board of Directors, Chapter By-Laws, Mission Statement, etc.).
*We thank you for your support and look forward to working with you soon!
Thank you so much for your support everyone! We've gotten the signatures we need (but please do keep signing so you will be kept in the loop as this process moves forward).
