We want to end our year by saying thank you to our amazing membership across Kentucky and to our current KYATA executive board members.
In the last two years the executive board has:
-Organized/planned two symposiums with approval of all CEs by the NBCC
-Hosted successful symposiums each year, with an increase in participants the second year
-Organized and hosted several successful art meet ups for membership
-Kept up with our marketing/social media posts and membership email list
-Spread out our meet ups across cities in Kentucky to include Louisville, Frankfort, and Lexington
-Welcomed new students to the UofL art therapy program each year
-Updated and organized much needed parts of all things KYATA (even became a little more tech savvy 🤪)
And how could we forget our most memorable part of 2025?
With the diligent support and help of those who are part of our amazing membership, we learned the AATA 2027 conference location has been secured for Louisville, Kentucky!!!
So, we want to give a great big thank you to our membership and to our executive board from the last few years before the year ends!
To:
Marybeth Orton, President (Newly elected member of the AATA board of directors)
Chelcia Nemec, President-Elect
McKenzie Rich, Secretary
Erica Adams, Treasurer
Amber Bruce, Delegate
Rhonda Fessel, Alternate Delegate
Katie Regan, Previous Alternate Delegate turned IT/Tech Support
+ All of our amazing members!
What a big last few years for the Kentucky Art Therapy Association!! We are thankful for each of you for all of your hard work, good attitudes, support of KYATA as well as one another, and your fantastic teamwork! Looking forward to welcoming our newly elected members to the executive board and so excited for what's to come in the new year. 💜
