June 24-26, 2013 | Salt Lake City, Utah
The House of Delegates (House) is a policy-making body of APTA, comprised of chapter voting delegates and section, assembly, and PTA Caucus nonvoting delegates, and consultants. Onsite, the House session includes 5 meetings over 3 successive days, beginning with an opening ceremony and ending with a closing ceremony. During this time, APTA's legislative body convenes to make decisions on issues that may have far-reaching implications for the association and for the profession of physical therapy. Business in the House is conducted through the introduction of main motions and follows parliamentary procedure. Elections for the national offices of APTA are held while the House is in session.
Attending the House of Delegates
Any APTA member with a current membership card may attend the House by sitting in its gallery (an area behind the ropes of the House proper). Contact your delegate to learn more about the House and/or to become a part of your component's delegation.
(Delegates should utilize the resources in the House of Delegates community.)
The House of Delegates occurs immediately before APTA Conference. Attendees can use the housing and travel information on that site to arrange your stay.
