Join the PATA Licensure Committee today! The PATA Licensure Committee is working to obtain an independent clinical art therapy licensure for art therapists in Washington, DC. We are calling on art therapists to join forces in making a supportive presence to advocate for professional distinction through state licensure. Committee members will be drafting the licensure protection bill, garnering support from local organizations that employ art therapists, and meeting with policy makers to gain support of the art therapy profession. Email PATA President Kathryn Martin at kathrynmart@gmail.com to join the committee or to find out more. We need your support! PATA is also seeking an enthusiastic and politically savvy art therapist to undertake the Licensure Committee Chair position, a vital role in the licensure process! The committee chair person would work alongside our energetic committee members in helping to organize and delegate the tasks needed to achieve the committee’s goals. Email PATA President Kathryn Martin at kathrynmart@gmail.com to learn more about this exciting chair position.
Your participation is critical to the success of this campaign! Let's make this happen! |
