Hello everyone-
As most of you know, the Minnesota legislative session is underway. The MATA has been busy preparing and laying the groundwork in effort to revise and update the Minnesota Athletic Trainers’ Practice Act. Representative Cy Thao is our chief author and Representative Jim Abeler is our co-author. The bill was introduced last March 17th, but was not heard in committee. The house file number for our legislation is H.F. 1855. The MATA needs your help with this legislation. Our lobbyists have informed us to expect opposition to our bill from the physical therapists and occupational therapists. In order to get this bill passed we need to continue pushing this legislative train forward with more phone calls and letters. To access the bill changes, talking points, and sample support letters log into the "Member's Only" section of the web site. It is imperative that we gather as much support as possible. If you have difficulty logging into the Member's Only section, please contact the MATA webmaster:

Dear GLATA Members:
As many of you are aware, the GLATA Executive Board charged a task force with re-writing the associations Constitution and Bylaws. After about 2 years of work, we are ready to present the new Bylaws to the association. In order for the new Bylaws to be adopted, the membership will vote on this on March 12, 2010 at the GLATA Annual Winter Business Meeting. I urge your attendance at this event.
