Introducing the NATAO Exchange

Do you have some questions you’ve been wanting to ask about your therapy animal organization?  Do you have some answers that you could offer to someone else who also has questions? Would you like to meet with a knowledgeable group of therapy enthusiasts to EXCHANGE ideas and questions and maybe help one another out?

Welcome to the NATAO EXCHANGE – a monthly zoom discussion that anyone can attend to talk about what’s on your mind regarding your therapy challenges.

We zoom together the first Tuesday of every month at 3:30 EST. You can see future topics, watch previous discussions, and RSVP on our Events page.

Each EXCHANGE will focus on a pre-announced topic which we’ll start off with, but you know how serious discussions can go….everywhere. Bring your questions, your concerns, anything you want to talk about and we’ll gather together monthly to EXCHANGE ideas, share thoughts, and connect with other NATAO members like you and me.

Sept: Where do you see your organization going? What does your future look like?

Oct: Sept part 2: How do you plan to get there? What do you need to make that happen?   OR a different topic springing from Sept’s Exchange.

Nov: Impact – pet therapy is more than a pat, a smile, and a thank you.

Future topics:

Creating new programs – what works, what doesn’t

Where to focus the love – When deciding where to visit, who takes priority?

What’s on YOUR mind?

Changes in the Workplace – trends and patterns affecting our industry

Recruit – Retain – Bid Farewell – Saying goodbye and why
