Do you
know of an APTA member who this year has gone above and beyond to advocate on
behalf of the physical therapy profession at the federal level? Is there a
legislator, staffer, or public figure who has championed physical therapy
causes in 2012? Nominate him or her for the Federal Government Affairs
Leadership Award or the APTA Public Service Award.
The
Federal Government Affairs Leadership Award is presented annually to an active
APTA member who has made significant contributions to APTA's federal government
affairs efforts, and has shown exemplary leadership in furthering the
association's objectives in the federal arena.
The APTA
Public Service Award is presented annually to individuals who have demonstrated
distinctive support for the physical therapy profession at a national level.
Individuals from the following categories are eligible for nomination of this
award: members of Congress, congressional staff members, members of a state
legislature, federal agency officials, health and legislative association
staff, and celebrities or other public figures.
