•  The Public Relations Committee will be reaching out to High School Athletic Directors, Colleges and Universities across to the state asking them to help recognize National Athletic Training Month.

• We are looking for photos of athletic trainers in action.  These photos could be utilized in the future on the CATA website, display, and video.  In addition, some photos maybe submitted to District 1 as well for their utilization.

•  Create a bulletin board with materials from the PR Toolkit.  Please forward a photo of your bulletin board to  dsearlesatc@yahoo.com .

Secondary School Contest -  All secondary school athletic trainers encourage your athletes, administrators, coaches, team physicians, parents, etc. to view your bulletin board photo by visiting the CATA on Facebook during March and "Like" your photo.  The secondary school athletic trainer with the most Likes will win a prize.
