Annual Reflection
2021 - 2022

The Executive Board developed a strategic plan for membership recruitment, service and outreach activities, annual budget, logo development and marketing strategies. They also created committees and appointed co-chairs. They developed a plan to implement a membership interest survey.

Through a collaboration with the International Association for Resilience and Trauma Counseling (IARTC), the executive board published: 

Hall, A., Cureton, J., Dari, T., & Jenkins, K. (2021). Groupwork with youth who have experienced trauma. International Association for Resilience and Trauma Counseling Newsletter, 19-23.

OARTC volunteers conducted a conference booth and held a meet and greet for members and potential members. OARTC Executive Board members and committee chairs presented a variety of sessions. We also launched our Facebook page.

​

OARTC exceeds the minimum goals required by OCA to become an official division after only 6 months! This was due to the hard work by our board, committee chairs, and interest of our members. 

OARTC received a request for a presentation on trauma for Medicaid, focusing on caregivers and community needs. Kalesha Jenkins, Treasurer, conducted this virtual presentation.
