Committees Please consider volunteering with the NATA Foundation! The NATA Research & Education Foundation creates, fosters, and advances a culture that values diversity, equity, and inclusion in all its activities. Our stakeholders come from all walks of life and so should we. We want committed people from a wide variety of backgrounds involved with the Foundation’s leadership and programs. Our mission and stakeholders are best served when people bring a variety of views and backgrounds together to advance our strategic priorities. A critical way to support the NATA Foundation is through the gift of time. Without our volunteers, we would not be able to serve our mission and advance the athletic training profession. The NATA Foundation is currently seeking members for multiple committee vacancies (term beginning June 2022). Interested candidates should submit a CV and letter of interest to fndnstaff@nata.org by October 1, 2021. Learn more about the each committee’s eligibility requirements and application process via the links below: Educational Resources Committee Member Free Communications Committee Member Pronouncements Committee Member Student Writing Committee Chair Student Writing Committee Member Along with the Board of Directors, the NATA Foundation depends on various committees to ensure that the mission of the organization is carried out. There is a board member and staff member assigned to each committee to serve as liaison and conduit between the committee and the board. Without the long hours and dedication of its committee members, the NATA Foundation would not be able to facilitate its research and education programs.
