Get Involved: Advocate for the Profession

As advocates for the health and well-being of the physically active across Colorado, it's vital that athletic trainers have a strong voice in shaping the policies that impact our profession and the communities we serve. Building relationships with your state legislators is one of the most effective ways to ensure that athletic training remains visible, supported, and properly represented at the Capitol.

Whether you're new to advocacy or a seasoned supporter, reaching out to your elected officials helps educate them about the essential role athletic trainers play in athletic healthcare and injury prevention. Legislators want to hear from constituents like you—people who live and work in their districts and can offer real-world perspectives on the importance of athletic training.
