Representative Assembly

The American Occupational Therapy Association's Representative Assembly (RA) is responsible for the development and approval of professional policies and standards.

Representative Assembly meeting schedule

The RA meets at least twice a year and is always open for members to observe its proceedings unless it is in executive session. The summer and fall meetings occur online and the spring meeting is held either online, face-to-face, or as a hybrid, beginning just before and/or at the same location as AOTA INSPIRE's Annual Conference & Expo. Here is a peek at what the schedule typically looks like:
