Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How …
Regional Reps & Co-Reps
Who are Regional Reps & Co Reps? Members of OKAPT who serve as a Representative or Co-Representative in their immediate area. The reason for two Reps in
an area is to lighten the load and develop a link to continue the services in each area.
What is required of the Regional Reps & Co-Reps? They will be responsible for coordinating six Lunch & Learn Sessions in their area. The Reps will select the
location, time, and speaker. The Lunch & Learns are Play Therapy Trainings for an hour Play Therapy C.E.U. (currently the budget cannot fund additional licensure
C.E.U.'s).
When will Reps schedule Lunch & Learn Sessions? Fall sessions will be held in September, October, and November. Spring sessions are February, March, and April.
Where will Reps advertise the Lunch & Learns? Information will be included in the newsletter, website, and emailed (to individuals and agencies).
Why have Reps and Lunch & Learns? Reps will provide a link for services within your community. Lunch & Learns will able RPT's to meet the yearly requirement of 12
C.E.U.'s (6 C.E.U.'s - Lunch & learn and 6 C.E.U.'s - Annual Conference). How do you become a Regional Rep or C-Rep? If you are interested in coordinating (location,
date, time, & speaker) six Play Therapy Trainings in your area and are a member of OKAPT, contact OKAPT. |
