Looking forward to seeing you in Nashville!
As TNOTA charts the course for the future of occupational therapy in our state, we are thrilled to launch this program to honor the outstanding individuals who make our profession extraordinary.
This inaugural year marks a historic milestone for TNOTA. We are calling on our community – practitioners, educators, students, and advocates – to help us identify the leaders, innovators, and changemakers who exemplify the spirit of OT.
Read about this year’s three awards and nominate a colleague (or yourself for 2 of the 3 awards this year). By doing so, you can help us set the standard for excellence for generations of Tennessee OT practitioners to come.
Thank you for helping us identify our very first class of honorees!
