News from Director Horodyski
Continued from page 1
The members of the SEATA Executive Board should be commended for the work they have been
completing. They have worked diligently this year to help enhance SEATA and our profession. I
encourage you to review the information contained in SEATA Board meeting minutes located on the
SEATA website. Please accept my sincere appreciation and thanks to all SEATA who have served
on state, district or national committees this year. Below I will provide exciting information about
activities occurring in our profession.
The NATA strategic plan was reviewed by the NATA Board of Directors (BOD). The plan has
three main focus areas: advocacy, engagement, and development. All strategic objectives will
be aligned within the focus areas.
The NFL and NATA secondary school initiative is moving forward with great success. It is
anticipated that even more secondary schools will be included in the program next year.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) developed a document titled
Management of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries Clinical Practice Guidelines
which was endorsed by the NATA BOD. Sandra Shultz, PhD, ATC, FACSM, FNATA
represented the NATA on the writing group.
The future of the profession is very bright and is going global. NATA President Thornton attended
the WFATT meeting earlier this Fall. A new agreement between the BOC and the Canadian
Athletic Therapists’ Association (CATA) and Athletic Rehabilitation Therapy Ireland (ARTI) has
been established.
NATA President Jim Thornton put together a task force to develop a response to the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid services (CMS) rule on durable medical equipment, prosthetics,
orthotics and supplies (DMEPOS). The final outcome of the task force was a strong letter to
the CMS addressing the skill set of ATs and the ability of ATs to perform these activities. The
NATA also worked with partner organizations, including physician organizations, to include
ATs in their responses to the CMS. Legislators are being recruited to sign a letter to the CMS.
The NPI and Safe Sports School Award Contests were a great success. District IX was very
active in the contests; however, District III took home top honors in both contests.
SEATA will be rolling out a new logo.
The SEATA Board approved a program to assist secondary schools with finances to apply for the
Safe Sports School Award. Look for more information in future correspondence and on the
SEATA website.
I would like to continue to encourage all SEATA members to make sure they have completed several
items. Have you obtained a NPI number? Getting a NPI number is free and can be completed easily
online. Please make sure you notify the NATA national office and the BOC if you move and change
your address or email address. Do you know an athletic trainer who should be receiving a SEATA
Award? Please take a moment to go to the SEATA website and nominate your colleagues. I am
challenging all former award winners in SEATA to nominate at least one member for an award.
Again, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve you,
MaryBeth

News from President Mackie
Continued from Page 1
In all honesty, though many of the past good ole boys are responsible for where we may be at
today and for building a strong foundation long before our states became more relevant, their
passion and concern laid a foundation for our future. The good news is there is an exciting new
group of young professionals and members with so much to offer. I'm very encouraged by the
energy portrayed by our Student Senate, the Young Professionals Committee, and younger and
new leadership that are eager to share their ideas. We are not a stagnant organization, but one
that is evolving and seeking for new ways to grow and provide for our membership. Your input
on the Strategic Plan survey is valuable and will be strongly considered as we create a living
roadmap for the next five years.
Thank you for those who participated in our two recent surveys related to our strategic plan &
annual members meeting. The Executive Board values your input and will work to incorporate
your ideas into our future planning. Congratulations to Ashley Armbruster, the winner of a free
registration to our March Clinical Symposium. She actually resides in another district now due to
a recent job change, but her roots are in SEATA and she is planning to attend.
The Athletic Training Student Symposium will be upon us in February and again we hope to
have a record setting attendance along with continued creative programing. New co-chairs
Pattie Tripp & Karen Lew along with R.T. Floyd are preparing another outstanding program. The
Quiz Bowl will be in high gear and an exciting time for all the participants.
As we come upon the 40th anniversary of SEATA, please join us to celebrate and educate. We
are excited to announce that four Education Based Presentations (EBP) are being considered by
the BOC for presentation at our annual Clinical Symposium, March 12-15, 2015 in Atlanta, GA at
the Crown Plaza Ravinia. These are valuable as by the end of 2015 we must complete 10
EBP’s to maintain certification. Thank you to our new EBP coordinator Aaron Sciascia for his
leadership. Our CEU value per dollar is outstanding, as well as our dynamic educational
program organized by Co-Chairs Brady Tripp & Shelly Linens. By the time registration opens
you will see a new look to our website. R.T. Floyd, Donna Wesley, Aaron Sciascia, Tim McLane
and others have worked tirelessly to complete this task.
Your SEATA Executive Board has recently implemented new technology tools to help us better
communicate and become more efficient—all which benefit our membership. We hope you’ll
see the results along the way.
In closing, I encourage you to continue to participate and engage in your profession. I recently
saw a video with former NATA President Ken Falb who said athletic trainers were really “those
who really enjoy sharing their love and compassion with others”. We have a great membership
and group of professionals with passion and energy to help others—continue in that spirit. In the
immortal words of President John Kennedy (paraphrased for our purpose) "Ask not what your
profession can do for you, ask what you can do for your profession”.
Yours in Good Health,
Jim Mackie, President

SEATA SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE
DR. GIANLUCA DEL ROSSI
The SEATA Scholarship Committee invites applications for its 2014-2015
scholarships, which are established to preserve the memory and accomplishments
of deceased members of SEATA and to perpetuate the standards of excellence exemplified by athletic trainers. These awards serve to recognize and promote both
high achievement and professionalism in athletic training.
Starting November 10th, the SEATA Scholarship Committee will be accepting applications for nine available scholarships. Three undergraduate and three
graduate scholarships are available to full time students pursuing a degree in
athletic training. The basic criteria to be considered include a GPA of ‘B’ or above
and the intent to make athletic training their primary means of livelihood.
In addition, District 9 members who presently have a dependent enrolled as
a junior or senior in an accredited college or university are eligible for three family
scholarships. To apply for a Family scholarship, the dependent need not be
majoring in Athletic Training.
Additional details related to each of the scholarships can be found at http://
www.seata.org/Scholarshipdetails.htm. All potential candidates are asked to visit
the SEATA website and complete the online application. The deadline for all
scholarships is 5:00PM on
January 7th, 2015.

DR. KRISTAN YATES
NATA initially launched its #ATsAre awareness campaign back in June, when convention attendees were asked to complete the phrase “Athletic trainers are ____” on a
whiteboard. Recently, the #ATsAre campaign officially became a contest, and settled
into its digital home at the NATA 2015 convention website. ATs and AT students are
encouraged to submit their word (or words) as often as they’d like through Nov. 14.
Three winners will be selected to receive awesome prizes, one of which is a free trip
to the NATA 2015 convention! Read more about the #ATsAre contest in this
week’s Range of Motion newsletter, and see examples from members on
the convention website.

30th Annual Athletic Training Student Symposium
The SEATA Athletic Training Student Symposium will be held
February 5-7, 2015, at the Crown Plaza Ravinia Hotel in
Atlanta, GA. Karen Lew, MEd, LAT, ATC of the University of
West Florida and Patricia Tripp, PhD, LAT, ATC, CSCS of the
University of Florida are the Foundations Workshop
Coordinators. R.T. Floyd, EdD, LAT, ATC of the University of
West Alabama is the Competencies in Athletic Training Director.
Registration for the symposium will open November 1, 2014. We encourage everyone to
register early as space is limited. New this year, we created an agenda for Tracks A and B
to meet the educational needs of students not intending to sit for the BOC
examination this year (vs. 1st year or 2nd year AT student designation). We enhanced the
content in both tracks to better reflect the current educational requirements and include
evidence based practice recommendations for athletic training.
Students interested in presenting research - we revised the
research component of the programming for 2015! Ms. Karen
Stanton, MS, LAT, ATC from Auburn University will lead the
research process; however, abstract submission will occur online
beginning on Monday, October 27th. This year, SEATA has
implemented an abstract submission fee of $5, paid as part of the
online process. Students may select from the following
submission categories: Original Research – ORAL, Original
Research – POSTER, Clinical Case Report – ORAL, or Clinical
Case Report – POSTER. The abstract format remains the same
from 2014, but the process and presentation structure
changed. The abstract submission deadline is Friday, November 14th – students will
receive notification on or before December 19 th regarding presentation status. Additional
information and instructions available on the submission website Student Symposium
Abstract Submission.
Please visit Student Symposium Registration beginning November 1st to review additional
details (including preliminary agenda), SEATA Quiz Bowl and registration information for
the 30th Annual SEATA Athletic Training Student Symposium. Hotel reservations will again
go through Connections – we will provide additional information on the website.

NATA News
Presidential Election
The results of our presidential election are finalized, and Scott Sailor, EdD, ATC,
has been voted by the membership to be our next president. He will take office in
June 2015. Our sincere thanks to Russ Richardson, EdD, ATC, for his willingness to serve the association and to all the members who engaged in the voting
process.
We caught up with Sailor shortly after he received the big news from President
Jim Thornton, MA, ATC, CES, while he was walking in the parking lot at Fresno
State University. When we asked him how it feels to be elected NATA president,
he said: "It feels amazing! It probably hasn’t completely hit me yet. As a young
athletic trainer, I remember being in an elevator with two past presidents and not
having the nerve to introduce myself because I had so much admiration for them.
I can’t even believe that I will be one of those people."
Sailor had this message for his fellow athletic trainers who supported him through
his campaign and took the time to vote: "I appreciate the support of our members, and I’m honored to have an opportunity to serve them."
Look for a full profile of Sailor in your November NATA News! Read more about
his campaign platform in this previous blog post.
