Penny Moyers, EdD, OTR/L, AOTA President, opened up the ArizOTA 2007 Fall Conference with her presentation: Cascading a Chain Reaction, Leading Leaders on the Centennial Vision. Penny presented AOTA’s Centennial Vision for 2017 and challenged occupational therapy practitioners to be leaders by turning “extraordinary ideas” into “extraordinary actions.” Occupational therapy practitioners were charged with keeping up with the “knowledge revolution” to make sure our profession lasts, being involved with research and evidence-based practice and building the profession’s capacity to serve and advocate for our clients by mentoring occupational therapy students and entry-level graduates.

Welcome to ArizOTA! I am responsible for ensuring that ArizOTA serves to enhance professionalism and provide support to occupational therapy practitioners in Arizona. During my term, ArizOTA will aim to provide: Networking and Professional Support through Special Interest Sections (SIS) The Mentor Connection providing a Members Only section on the ArizOTA website for occupational therapy practitioners and students to identify possible mentors in their practice area. Legislative Updates directly affecting occupational therapy practice in ArizOTA. Monthly ArizOTA Updates by e-mail.
As you know, all of these items on the ArizOTA agenda would not be successful without the commitment of your ArizOTA board members and committees. However to guarantee optimal success in ArizOTA’s endeavors, we need you! Get involved with ArizOTA! I look forward to meeting you and working with you at future ArizOTA events. Nina Castillo, MS, OTR/L
“Becoming a member of your state association and of AOTA is a place to start. Our profession needs the collective strength and knowledge of members so that when we speak to payers or funding agencies or policymakers, we speak with a powerful, committed voice. Getting involved…can be as simple as performing an in-service in your facility to increase awareness of occupational therapy, providing fieldwork opportunities for students in your community, or talking with colleagues who may not know about the vision to make them aware and encourage them to spread the word.” –Penelope Moyers, EdD, OTR/L, BCMH, FAOTA

When I moved to Arizona from Wisconsin 3 years ago, the first place I searched for jobs was on the ArizOTA website. The list was extensive, which made me excited about the multiple possibilities available to me. I ended up accepting a job with a company listed on that website and continue to work at the same facility.
Three years later, I am now a lead therapist. We consistently use the ArizOTA job posting areas on the website and newsletter due to the success we have had with finding quality therapists. It is also extremely economical and accessible to many possible candidates from across the United States and the world! I also feel the attractiveness and user friendly aspect of the website invites candidates to explore its many features.
All in all, I feel that advertising for O.T. job openings with ArizOTA is the best choice your company can make!!
