PTA+ Physical Therapist Assistant

What really happens inside the APTA House of Delegates—and why should PTAs care?

In this Top 5 re-release, Katie Sutton sits down with PTA Council Delegates Brenda Dorman, Jeannie Thompson, and David Harris for a behind-the-scenes conversation on the decisions, debates, and momentum shaping the future of the PTA profession.

You’ll hear:

• how the profession has evolved (and what’s helped propel PTAs forward)
• what it was like casting the first votes on behalf of PTAs in 2022 and 2023
• the strides PTAs have made over the past decade—and what “bravery in the house” really looks like
• where PTA rights and representation stand today
• why being involved in your professional association matters more than you think
• the leadership paths these three PTAs took to get here—and what it means for your next step

If you’ve ever wondered how change actually happens in our profession, this one delivers the real-world, actionable version—straight from the people in the room.
