Current Initiatives


 GOTA is striving to make a both a state and global impact, with a focus on serving, educational opportunities, and expanding our practice area.


 We are excited to be working towards some forward thinking, giving back, and expanding initiatives- but we need your help! Please consider assisting us in one of the below initiatives to help GOTA continue to make a difference in and out of our profession, both near and far in the world! 

 

State Reciprocity

GOTA is working towards partnering with other OT association/affiliations within the US towards state reciprocity for events, educational opportunities, and more! GOTA is also working towards interprofessional initiatives with APTA of Georgia for educational opportunities, presentations, and beyond. If interested in assisting to lay the path for this initiative, please contact [email protected]. 

International Initiative

GOTA is working towards an international membership for countries in need for educational opportunities, mentoring, and resources. The first country GOTA is looking at partnering with is Ukraine. Within this initiative, Ukraine Ergotherapists (Occupational Therapy practitioners in their country), will be able to attend our annual conference, workshops, other CE events, as well as have access to resources, such as Legislative Day and how they could bring this to their country! We are also considering a “buddy” partnership in which a therapy practitioner here could be partnered with a therapy practitioner there to open dialogue, conversation, and learning from each other. In interested in working towards developing this initiative currently, please contact Stephanie Johnson, GOTA president directly at [email protected]
