Here is the <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScS0RHQ_bBhtmPmWAEeaC5agI1OMndRdo2y9bxSK7xOtgYWtA/viewform">link</a> to the application, and the deadline is 3/22/23. The time commitment for the year is estimated to be 20 hours, which involves quarterly meetings and subcommittee meetings.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I became involved with the committee last year and joined the community engagement subcommittee. The biggest objective for the subcommittee last year was the creation of the Community Impact Challenge (CIC), which will be awarding a PT program $1,000 for a DEI initiative. The opportunity is a great way to become connected with other clinicians across the state and further the profession with a concentrated focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion. I would love to see more CU DPT representation this year on the committee. Please let me know if you have any questions, and I will be happy to assist. </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best regards, </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a name="_MailAutoSig"><b><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#666666'>Holden Cox, SPT</span></b></a><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailAutoSig'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailAutoSig'><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#666666'>Doctor of Physical Therapy Student, Class of 2023<o:p></o:p></span></i></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailAutoSig'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#666666'>2023 APTA Association Leadership Scholar<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailAutoSig'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#666666'>Pro Bono Clinic Operations Chair <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailAutoSig'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#666666'>Class of 2023 Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Chair </span></span><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailAutoSig'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#888888'><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailAutoSig'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#666666'>Campbell University | College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences</span></span><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailAutoSig'></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#888888'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
