Assembly of Student Delegates
The Assembly of Student Delegates (ASD) provides a mechanism for the expression of student perspectives, and offers a means whereby students can have effective input into the affairs of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA).
About the Assembly of Student Delegates (ASD)
As a standing committee of the Board of Directors, the ASD Steering Committee serves the ASD membership by synthesizing student concerns to represent the student point of view to the Representative Assembly, the Commission on Practice, the Commission on Education, the Volunteer Leadership Development Committee, and all other bodies of AOTA as needed.
Each OT and OTA educational program elects or appoints one representative and one alternate. (Representatives and Alternates can register their terms at the callout box titled “Is your ASD registration up to date?”)
The ASD meets virtually multiple times per year, as well as in person at AOTA INSPIRE | Annual Conference & Expo.
