On7/11/2005, ta-fl Listmanager, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: tfL> From: "David Clark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> tfL> To reply: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tfL> To start a new topic: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tfL> To (un)subscribe: mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tfL> ----------------------------------------------------------------- tfL> On Wednesday, September 14, a meeting will be held at NOVA tfL> Southeastern University, hosted by the schools of NOVA and FIU. tfL> Students and faculty from both institutions will be in attendance. tfL> The meeting will be used to explore the four scenarios developed by tfL> the first task group that gathered to plan for the future. The tfL> four scenarios are: Familiar Territory-this will explore an tfL> expected future with enough opportunity for the profession to tfL> steadily progress along familiar pathways. Life in the Jungle-will tfL> explore a feared future where current challanges cascade into an tfL> era of limited opportunities for occupational therapy. The Bold tfL> New Frontier- will explore an aspirational future shaped by tfL> scientific and technological advances that could alter the practice tfL> of occupational therapy. And finally, A Shining City on the tfL> Hill-will explore a visionary future where a more holistic view of tfL> health transforms occupational therapy and its role in society. tfL> (see the Vice Presidents report in the member concerns area of: tfL> www.aota.org) tfL> The participants will be divided into 4 groups to generate tfL> possibilities for each scenario. The results will be sent to tfL> Charles Christensen, Vice President of AOTA, as he has been charged tfL> with getting this Vision picture off the ground. As a reminder, tfL> Charles will be delivering the Keynote Address at the Annual FOTA tfL> meeting to be held in October. All therapists are invited to tfL> attend and participate at this meeting. tfL> Although AOTA will turn 100 years old in 2017, and there tfL> are 12 years in order to prepare for the future, what-ever it may tfL> be, it is important for all of us to be prepared for any event that tfL> presents itself in 2017. Additional information will be tfL> forthcoming, however, it is not too early to make your plans now. tfL> Sincerely, David D. Clark -- Unsubscribe?
