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 volunteers, the NATA Foundation would not be able to serve our mission and advance the athletic training profession through our research, education and professional development programs. 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. The NATA Foundation is currently seeking volunteers to fill multiple positions. If you’re passionate about advancing the athletic training profession and want to make a difference, apply now! Details about the positions and how to apply can be found at the links below. Questions about available volunteer positions can be emailed to Kathryn Lalonde kathrynl@nata.org. Applications are now being accepted for the newly restructured Athletic Training Research Agenda Committee. The NATA Foundation is seeking applicants for both the Chair and Member positions. Applications are due by July 15. For more details about the committee and the application process, please review the open call documents below.
