As we push into the summer months, Asian Pacific Athletic Trainers Society has brought in two new coordinators. Caleb Lott and Erick Chen has completed their inaugural session at the helm. Under their leadership, APATS saw a growth in membership and a more robust education program. Add to that leadership, former coordinator Jared Maisel and you have the initial founding leadership of APATS.
So, together, APATS owes a debt of gratitude to both Lott and Chen (and Maisel).
Taking the empty leadership roles, Dr. Jennifer Rizzo and Randen Morisako come on already doing great things for the membership. Rizzo has been working on the social presence of APATS now for the past six months; and Morisako solicited education programs in efforts to get CEUs for the membership at a discounted rate during this pandemic situation.
A vote of confidence for Morisako and Rizzo was taken in May, and resulted in overwhelming support of both candidates. "I am excited at what the next year has in store for APATS, with these two wonderful folks. Both bring in fresh new energy and have already been discussing future initiatives" Josh Euten writes when asked his thoughts on the new coordinators. Both Rizzo and Morisako will be coordinators for the next two years, while Euten will roll off next year.
