She has academic training and credentials in health sciences, sport psychology as well as Athletic Therapy. She has excellent references from within the sport medicine sector in Ontario including provincial sport organizations. She has expressed her interest in joining the Board is to develop more leadership skills, to gain a better understanding of provincial health care policy development and health care delivery systems impacting the AT profession, while gaining insights into proper not-for-profit governance and association management.  

Her focus as a Director will be in establishing and developing good relationships with colleagues and furthering the many valuable partnerships within sport medicine to advance the profession.  

Dawn plans to make a contribution to the Board and to the profession by assisting in the collective efforts to raise the AT professional profile and in promoting the importance of the AT role in proper concussion care and management.

Given her contributions to date as an OATA volunteer, we have no doubt Dawn Duncan will be an asset to the Board, to the Association and to bringing additional value to the membership through her efforts.
