5. WHY JOIN E-Board?
E-Board has helped me with juggling my activities and prioritizing what I am involved in to gear my life towards what I want to do. It has started to get me ready to be a real person and to handle all the responsibilities that come along with that new territory! -Olivia Rasp
I’ve really enjoyed being on E-Board not just for the leadership experience but for the knowledge that comes with running TPPTA. If I had never applied, I would have never received my PT Aide position at Shriners Hospital this summer! –Scott Weiss
Joining TPPTA’s E-Board helped me connect, grow, and serve as a student and individual. Some of my best memories are with this organization. –Ryan Clee
Being on the E-Board for 2 years has contributed to not only my academic and professional growth, but to my personal growth as well. Having a great support system during stressful times during this process to PT school granted me much relief. Most importantly it allows you to gain leadership experience and stand out among your fellow colleagues.
–Alexis Ammons
