ADVANCE is in sunny southern California!
ADVANCE arrived in Ontario yesterday afternoon in anticipation of the Occupational Therapy Association of California's 32nd annual conference. While this is my first experience at OTAC, I immediately began to recognize familiar faces when I checked into my room at the hotel's front desk. I exchanged hellos with OTs that I have chatted with between sessions at AOTA national conferences, shared shuttles with to and from airports, and bumped into in exhibit halls.
Today I plan to attend a couple of interesting sessions and am looking forward to Florence Clark's keynote address. Clark (associate dean and chairperson of the USC division of occupational science and occupational therapy) will be discussing the possibilites of OTAC as a power engine for making AOTA's centennial vision happen. The keynote will be followed by the exhibit hall grand opening where the ADVANCE booth will feature several items from our healthcare shop. If you are attending the conference, be sure to stop by and say hello!
