The National Athletic Trainers' Association is monitoring the immediate and long-term effects of Hurricane Katrina, which ravaged the Louisiana-Mississippi Gulf Coast.
 

The NATA has been closely monitoring conditions in New Orleans and has made the determination that we need to consider other sites for our 2006 convention. We are looking at several cities and determining which have space and dates suitable for our group.

NATA wishes to support New Orleans and plans to reschedule our convention there for 2011, or the next open date. Also under discussion is encouraging NATA 2006 convention speakers to donate their honoraria to the New Orleans recovery efforts. This could result in a donation of as much as $100,000. We’ll keep you posted.
 

“Katrina Needs & News” is a new online message board for NATA members.  We encourage members to use this board to let others know how they’re doing, what they need or what they have to offer. Click HERE
