Why become a member of MN APTA?
"Knowing you are making a true commitment to the future of your profession—you can’t always leave it to someone else!" – Gail Smida, PT (APTA member since 1980)
"The greatest benefit of membership is knowing that I belong to the only organization that has a dedicated professional community focused on assuring that Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants are positioned to provide quality and caring evidence-based services to our patients." – Joan Purrington, PT, MN APTA President (APTA member since 1989)
"Belonging to the Minnesota Chapter of the APTA gives me a sense of being part of the bigger whole. I express my pride in my profession by my activity within my professional association. I have the opportunity and responsibility to stay informed, involved, and active with current issues that are important to the future of physical therapy." – Jessica Solberg, PTA, ASIG Chair (APTA member since 2000)
"Over the years as I have gotten more involved with the APTA at a local and national level, I have developed a sense of awe and appreciation for all the many peers and volunteers who's tireless efforts and advocacy benefit me in my practice. We are truly stronger together when advocating for our clients/patients and our profession." – Jon Nordrum, PT, MN APTA Vice President (APTA member since 1988)
"I feel that some of the benefits of being an APTA member are the usual professional benefits of networking and classes that are available at a discount, but I have benefited personally as well. By being a member and being involved, you meet some great committed people to work with, you learn about the political process and how our government works, as well as how meetings are conducted and the parliamentary process. By being active you get involved with community action projects, and this all helps a person to grow. I feel fortunate to be a part of a great organization." – Jan Haley, PTA, Board of Directors (APTA member since 1990)
