Recreational Therapy Foundation Formed

I recently saw in the ATRA Newsletter that the Recreational Therapy Foundation has been formed. Information taken from the Newsletter on the RTF follows below.

I couldn't help think that if we term our foundation the Recreational Therapy Foundation that to be consistent we should term our organization the American Recreational Therapy Association.

Here is the information on ATF:
In the last 2 years, the American Therapeutic Recreation Foundation has undergone a major transformation and overhaul. In recent years, ATRF, like ATRA, was challenged
in a variety of ways. The organization needed more continuity to function effectively, and was encumbered with a large board structure that didn’t serve the
organization well. Members of the former ATRF board of trustees became involved in the recent changes in the Foundation, and voted to create a new foundation and
migrate the existing ATRF funds to the new foundation.From there, much work commenced. From the list of Board of Trustees of ATRF, a small working group of 8-10
people saw an opportunity to create a new foundation with a leaner, better structured and more focused organization.

This new organization, which is now called the Recreational Therapy Foundation (RTF) has been developed and is now an independent organization.
