Smart Heart Coalition AED Advocacy Day
The CATA will partner with the Colorado Smart Heart Coalition to support legislation aimed at increasing access to Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in athletic settings. This coordinated advocacy effort will focus on improving emergency preparedness and enhancing the safety of student-athletes and physically active individuals across Colorado.
For both events, CATA leadership will assist participants in scheduling and facilitating meetings with their elected representatives. Advocacy materials, talking points, and guidance will be provided to ensure members feel prepared and confident in their conversations.
Your voice matters. Join us as we work together to strengthen athlete safety and elevate the profession of athletic training in Colorado.
