LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee

Mission statement or goals:
The SWATA LGBTQ+ Committee, as part of the NATA LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee (LGBTQ+ AC), is committed to the advancement of diversity within the athletic training profession by advocating for an environment of inclusion, respect, equity and appreciation of differences in both athletic trainers (ATs) and their diverse patient populations. The LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee will identify, explore, address and provide educational resources regarding emerging topics and concerns relevant to diverse sexualities, gender identities and gender expressions within the profession and health care topics affecting patients in the LGBTQ+ community.
