      <title>AOTA Rep to the RA for Oregon</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Got an email from Halley Reed -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;I am emailing to let you know my tenure as the Rep to the RA for our great state ends come June 30, 2023.&amp;nbsp; BUT….Dr. Kristin Nxumalo of Pacific University, SOT, is running for the position. I wanted to share the voting website, for all positions we as members can vote on, and then encourage all to vote for Kristin.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Compact Act - We Need to Decide</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This is actually a topic in our Forum where there is capability to "discuss" - but wanted to also address this here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu, sans-serif"&gt;For further information on what this is all about -&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="https://otao.com/page-18095" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu, sans-serif"&gt;Watch&lt;/font&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Ubuntu, sans-serif"&gt;a panel discussion&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;( or go to Legislative &amp;gt; Advocacy in Action/Compact Act page of this site)&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Ubuntu, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;where&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu, sans-serif"&gt;the history of the Compact Act is explained and what the opportunities and risks associated with adopting Compact are discussed.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>OTAO Website</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;We are currently revamping our website to better serve our occupational therapy community in Oregon.&amp;nbsp; It is our intent to make this be the strong heartbeat of a group of dedicated souls who honor and demonstrate Connection, Empowerment, Equity, Sustainability and Integrity.&amp;nbsp; With any endeavor like this, there will be typos and links that go nowhere or to somewhere not expected.&amp;nbsp; If you would be so kind as to report these (hopefully bitty) errors to &lt;a href="mailto:otaoinfo@gmail.com" target="_blank"&gt;otaoinfo@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;, it would be most appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;style&gt;&lt;/style&gt;
