The American Occupational Therapy Political Action Committee (AOTPAC) is a voluntary, nonprofit, nonpartisan, unincorporated committee of members of AOTA. The purpose of AOTPAC is to further the legislative aims of the Association by influencing or attempting to influence the selection, nomination, election, or appointment of any individual to any Federal public office, and of any occupational therapist, occupational therapy assistant, or occupational therapy student member of AOTA seeking election to public office at any level.
AOTPAC was authorized by the Representative Assembly in 1976 and has been operational since the Spring of 1978.
