The Governmental Affairs CommitteeThe members of your governmental affairs committee have been busy at both the national and state level to try to provide you with the best possible conditions with which to practice athletic training. Highlights include: Grant Winning Students Hit The Hill
3 Athletic Training Students from FWATA schools joined 10 certified FWATA members to "Hit-the-Hill" in Washington DC. From left to right, Christina Orozco from Fresno State, Adam Cady from Cal State Fullerton and Gina Biviano from Chapman University spent 3 days in our nations capital seeing the sites, sitting in on a few NATA committee meetings, and meeting with legislators on Capital Hill to discuss HR 1846. Their trip was sponsored by a grant from the FWATA Governmental Affairs Committee. They will be speaking about their experience at the student symposium at the FWATA Annual Meeting in Burlingame. Federal BillWork continues to try to get HR1876, The State ActivitiesAll three states have been active in the planning or introduction of bills.
Political Action Committees (PACs)As a reminder, a political action committee is a private group, organized to elect or defeat government officials or to promote legislation. This is primarily done by donating funds to candidates and causes. Both California and the NATA have PACs. Please donate as you are able. Any amount can be helpful. If every California ATC donated $5.00 we could triple the size of that PAC. If every NATA member donated the equivalent of one Starbucks a month, the NATAPAC could raise nearly 2 million dollars.
