Re-Election Roundup
At the recent APTA annual conference in Baltimore, the APTA's Board of Delegates met to select the organization's officers for the coming term.
R. Scott Ward, PT, PhD, was re-elected to a second term as the organization's president. Joining him as vice-president will be newly elected Paul A. Rockar, Jr., PT, DPT, MS.
Aimee B. Klein, PT, DPT, DSc, OCS was reelected as a director, while Kathleen K. Mairella, PT, DPT, MA; Mary C. Sinnott, PT, DPT, Med; and Nicole L. Stout, PT, MPT, CLT-LANA, were newly elected as directors.
Back in February at CSM 2009 in Las Vegas, ADVANCE had the opportunity to interview Dr. Ward. Among the questions we asked him at the time was a query about his plans for re-election as APTA president. Dr. Ward declined to answer the question, stating that he felt doing so could provide him an unfair advantage over those who might also be interested in running for office.
This is just one example of the integrity and respect for the profession and his peers that Dr. Ward bring to the offices of APTA. ADVANCE wishes him success in his second term as president.
