Question: "Do the board members of AROTA get paid to serve on the board?"

Question: "Where does the AROTA membership money go?"

Answer: We are very conservative with our funds.  Our biggest money is spent to support the vision of the OT profession in the state of Arkansas. We pay for an executive director, lobbyist, postage for mailings, an accountant fee for tax purposes  and conference expenses.

Question: "Do I have to use the OTA supervision log that was provided by the Medical Board?"
