I trust by now that everyone is back to work after the holidays, or very close to doing so. I wanted to say Happy New Year to all SWATA members and wish for you to have a happy and prosperous 2010.
In the next month there are a great many opportunities for you to get out and fellowship and learn from your fellow athletic trainers and also to be able to meet and discuss the current issues in athletic training with SWATA Executive Board members. Tomorrow (January 9) at Manvel HS GHATS will host their annual student trainer workshop. I plan on being there and I know that several other Executive Board members and also SWATA Committee chairs will as well. I will be giving a NATA and SWATA update during the business meeting at lunch. I hope to see you there.
In the upcoming weeks the Central Texas Athletic Trainers' Society will be hosting their student workshop as well. It will be January 30th on the University of Mary Hardin Baylor campus in Belton. For more information go to www.ctats.org
That same weekend (January 29 & 30)SWATA will be sponsoring a competency workshop for collegiate athletic training students. We on the executive board believe that the students are the future of the association and we want to do everything that we can to help them as they transition into the profession. The workshop will be held at the Wyndham DFW North in Irving. For more information or to register please go to https://www.signup4.net/Public/ap.aspx?EID=SWAT20E
Finally on the weekend of February 6 & 7 the SWATA Executive Board will have their mid winter meeting. In an ongoing effort to move the mid winter meeting around to all parts of the district we will be traveling El Paso. There will be a member reception on Saturday February 6th at the Radisson Airport in El Paso. All interested members are encouraged to attend so that you can meet your leadership.
Once again let me say Happy New Year and hopefully I'll be able to see you at an event in the near future.
Mike Carroll
SWATA President
