'Do you know an ATC that deserves to be recognized for his/her dedication to the Athletic Training Profession in the State of Illinois? If so, a great way to recognize them would be to nominate them for a Dedicated Service Award or to nominate them for the IATA Hall of Fame.'

IATA Archives Task Force
RE: Items missing from the IATA Archives
As you are aware, the IATA Archives will be placed in the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library in March, 2008. To be as complete as possible, I am requesting that all members, especially past officers, please check their file cabinets at work and at home for any archival materials and memorabilia worthy of deposit in the archives. The Task Force is close to finishing what we have accumulated so far but there are some items still missing. I have listed them HERE and would implore the retrieval of any of the items. If you have said items or you know where they can be retrieved, please get in contact with me by email at rclc675@sbcglobal.net or by phone 708-352-6383 as soon as possible. Thank you.

Congratulations!
The NATA Governmental Affairs Committee has selected Illinois as a winner of the 2006 Governmental Affairs Award, Class II. Because of the outstanding work of so many people and so many state organizations, two states will share this year’s Class II prize: Illinois and Oklahoma. Not only is the success of the past year unprecedented, the GAC is particularly pleased at the involvement of so many grassroots members. More info to follow.
New Regions
Effective April 1 2007, the IATA memberships regions have been reorganized by counties. Previously the regions were structured based on area codes. The increased use of cellular phones has resulted in several new area codes that were not being accounted for. Cell phone use has also resulted in some members being in a region that did not correlate with where they reside. Therefore, in order to have members in similar geographical locations be in the same region, the regions have been structured by counties. A member's county is determined using their preferred mailing address on file through the NATA office.

Call for Pictures/Photos/Videos of Athletic Trainers in Action
Robert Flynn , IATA Public Relations Director, is putting together a collection of photographs for the IATA display booth to be used at various conventions, meetings, etc. While his collection of "on-the-field" photos continues to grow, he is in need of pictures of athletic trainers practicing in the clinic and/or industrial setting. The same photos will also be used to create an IATA calendar. If possible, Steve would like to have a copy of your pictures, as well as the original negatives to help with reproduction of the photos.
He would also like to gather photos and video for the new IATA athletic training video currently being created. Footage/photos can be of injured athletes or athletic trainers in school, clinics, or classrooms. Footage will only be returned if you provide return postage.
