Starting a COTAD Chapter
The process for establishing a COTAD Chapter will require a minimum of a one year commitment from all participants, including the Chapter Chair and Faculty Mentor(s).
To become a chapter and meet with COTAD leaders to begin your Chapter, you must complete the following four items in order:
Please complete the INITIATION FORM found on the links page below, with your institutional information. Follow the steps closely, as they will guide your process.
Complete a needs assessment survey with students and faculty at your institution (see instructions on initiation form). You will need to submit a summary of the results to the NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT FORM found in the links page below.
Submit 4 goals based on your needs assessment to the GOAL SUBMISSION FORM found in the links page below. You will need to submit the form one time per each goal.
Complete the COMMITMENT FORM (in the links page below) once you are finished with the previous three items. You will be directed to pay Chapter dues through this form. You will not be able to submit this form if you have not completed the previous 3 items.
Once you have completed all of the steps listed above, you will be contacted by COTAD’s New Chapter Manager, Dr. Uchendu Iwuanyanwu, OTD, OTR/L, to move the process of starting a chapter forward.
