Our Role
November 2025 Updates
Join us at the 2025 OTAO Conference in Seaside, November 8 & 9, 2025 We will be hosting the Lunch with a Lobbyist Talk on Sunday. Additionally, we will have a booth set up for attendees to record short clips of them talking about their work as OTPs that we plan to use in our upcoming advocacy efforts to educate legislators and the public about the importance of our work. Finally, as a nod to the Democratic Process, we will have a voting booth set up so that you can vote from three locations in the state that we will hold conference next year! Occupational Therapy Provider Legislative Advocacy Day in Salem November 19, 2025, 8 am - 5 pm (with optional Happy Hour hosted by Lobbyist Niki Terzieff of Leading-Edge Public Affairs 2026 is a License Renewal Year in Oregon. If you attend both Conference and OTP Legislative Advocacy Day, you have the opportunity to get up to 21 CEUs for the price of conference (or 7 CEUs for FREE)! That's up to 70% of the CEUs needed to renew your OR License! For those coming for OTP Legislative Day without attending conference: It is still FREE for those not needing a CEU certificate. If you need a certificate for CEUs and don't attend Conference, you pay $14 for the whole day, and $7 if you leave after lunch. |
This year is a short legislative session, so we will be looking for opportunities for bills to support and continue to monitor bills that could be detrimental to OT Practice and our ability to care for clients. If there are conversations you would like to begin having, be sure to reach out to the Legislative Committee at otaolegislative@gmail.com. |
We have several ongoing projects and are always looking for help. Not all of this involves direct legislative action. The projects vary in size and time commitment. Even if you ony have a couple of hours to give us, we'll take it! Email us at: mailto:otaolegislative@gmail.com |
