The Public Relations Committee has the formidable job of bringing together a large group of athletic trainers from across Tennessee. This group is charged with actively communicating ideas to better promote the profession as well as the TATS organization.

One area where the work of these individuals is evident is in the many activities catalogued to commemorate NATA Month. Many members do an outstanding job of arranging presentations to civic groups, recognition by local government agencies, as well as radio spots, TV appearances and newspaper stories related to our profession. In addition, the group is working on ways to get the word out to the public as well as various groups on what the certified athletic trainer is and how we contribute to the healthcare of the athlete and the physically active. They have accumulated with the help of the membership various NATA brochures for distribution and are updating a secondary design of our TATS display that can be used for health fairs, civic group functions and school activities for the general public. The committee welcomes your ideas and suggestions.
