FOTA Region 4: North East - Jacksonville OT Forum

02/25/2026

AOTA elections are underway, and they have not yet reached quorum for any of the Representative Assembly races. That means we need OTs and OTAs who are AOTA members in your state to vote now, and we are counting on you to help spread the word.

If you are in one of the following states or territories, this message is especially for you:
California, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, and Utah.

Please rally your colleagues today and remind them that students vote separately for ASD roles, so this call to action is specifically for OT and OTA members voting in the standard RA race.

If there are any questions, members can reach out directly to [email protected] for support.

Let’s show up, mobilize our networks, and make sure our voices are counted. Thank you for lifting as we climb.
