An excerpt from the Award Ceremony...
The Inspirational Component Award recognizes significant, measurable progress in one or more key areas during the past year. This year the competition was so strong that we are giving double Oscars.
The first is to a small-sized section which demonstrated exceptionally strong execution of its strategic plan. The Oncology Section made consistent progress toward establishing specialty certification, expanding professional education opportunities, and providing resources for evidence-based practice.
In addition, the section enhanced its educational offerings to meet advanced competencies. A new volunteer leader oversaw onsite courses, and the section is developing online courses blended with in-person labs. The courses generate revenue toward the specialist certification effort.
The section took advantage of the national "Move Forward" campaign in marketing materials, on its web site, and with outreach efforts to create awareness of physical therapist practice in oncology. A robust online member resource center features evaluation and intervention tools, literature references, and links to online resources. As a result Web site visitors tripled.
Accepting the Inspirational Component award on behalf of the Oncology Section is President Kathleen Hummel-Berry. Congratulations to the Oncology Section!
