Board MembersPresident (2021-2022)
Years with OTAC and on the board: Prior to becoming president I served on the Membership and Conference Committees and have been a regular presenter at OTAC conferences since 2014. Brief work history and current work setting: I am a graduate of Colorado State University and have been an occupational therapist for over 30 years. I currently own a clinic-less community based private practice, Brave Therapy, specializing in working with people with complex pain conditions. I spent the first 10 years of my career specializing in brain injury and stroke rehabilitation and I have also been a complex seating and positioning specialist. I have worked in acute hospital, burn unit, acute and sub-acute rehabilitation, outpatient, and home health settings. I am honored to be one of a handful of OTs certified as a facilitator of Brené Brown’s Daring Greatly™ and Rising Strong™ resilience curricula and I teach locally, nationally, and internationally on person-centered pain care and becoming brave leaders in our profession. I administrate the PainOT Facebook study group and am an active advocate for the occupational therapy profession! A couple fun facts: I have been married to the "first gentleman" Scott, for 32 years, and we have a married adult daughter (waiting for grandkids!). I love to wear red shoes and in my younger years I was a 3 time national Pro Rally Co-driving Champion! These days I enjoy "slower" activities like running, hiking, puzzling, baking, writing, and learning to dance. Vice President (2021)Name: Matt Dodson, OTD, OTR/L, CBIST
