Thank you for more than 300 members currently filling volunteer roles with CAOT.
CAOT could not operate without the time, energy and skill that our members contribute to the association. Our mission of advancing excellence in occupational therapy would not be able to move forward without volunteerism being central to the membership experience at CAOT.
Volunteer roles in a wide range of time commitments and responsibilities.
