President's Report: Where's Your NYSOTA Spirit?
![]() |
1/18/13. For OT Month in April 2012, NYSOTA launched the “Where is YOUR NYSOTA Spirit?” campaign. This campaign centers on our new NYSOTA hand, easily recognizable with the NYSOTA logo and colorful highlighter fingers. Having first been spotted at the AOTA Conference in Indianapolis in 2011, between then and now the NYSOTA hand has been popping up across the world at various OT and NYSOTA events, as well as vacations, parties, volunteering events...everywhere!
The “Where is YOUR NYSOTA Spirit?” Campaign has been bringing NYSOTA members together and providing a way to show their membership spirit.
Where has YOUR NYSOTA Spirit been?
Check the NYSOTA website, the newsletter and our Facebook page for photos.
Want to how YOUR NYSOTA Spirit?
Simply make a donation to NYSOTA at the $5 level, get your gift of the NYSOTA hand and send your photos to us at pr@nysota.org. We will announce all the far-flung places NYSOTA has been at the annual conference in November 2013.
We would love to have you join us at AOTA in San Diego in April, where “YOUR NYSOTA Spirit” will be larger than life. Come see us, chat with us, “check in” and get your picture taken and show YOUR NYSOTA Spirit!
Looking forward,
