 Join us for our first in-person social event to meet fellow area OTs and chat about the future of our Flint MiOTA Chapter. We’ll meet at Tenacity Brewing on Thursday, August 14, at 5:00pm.  We’ll keep it casual with a quick meeting to discuss ideas for quarterly gatherings, share a beverage and connect.  Bonus: Tenacity hosts trivia at 7:00 PM on Thursdays, so if anyone is up for it, we can put our OT minds together and play a little trivia afterward as well!  If you are interested in attending please reach out to jillwood@umich.edu and I will send you information on obtaining CEUs for your attendance. 

One (1) professional development unit (PDU) will be awarded to active MiOTA members in attendance. The certificate will be emailed to all attendees.

Guests are always welcome to see what MiOTA is about at the local level; however, after one free visit we request that you become a member in order to continue attending the chapter meetings. We hope that you like what you see and want to join. Membership forms will be available at the meeting.
