Why Are You Running For This Position?
I am running for this position because I would like to become more involved in the Stroke SIG. I could offer both stroke research and clinical practice experience to this position. I am a strong supporter of participation in the APTA, in particular the Neurology Section and Stroke SIG, and feel I am well suited to encourage participation by my colleagues. I feel this position would allow me the opportunity to begin a larger involvement in the Stroke SIG and Neurology Section and encourage my colleagues to do the same. Thank you for your consideration.
