Conclave: Meet the President (of AOTA that is!)

Published 14 Oct 2009 3:48 PM

My husband and I take the train in the morning to work. He takes the train all the way in to Union Station in downtown Washington, D.C. and one morning he called and said there were secret service men all over Union Station and huge black SUVs parked outside. I told him it was probably our Vice President Joe Biden taking the train from his home state, Delaware, into the District. And later, while my husband was walking down Massachusetts Avenue to his office, he saw long lines of police motorcades and black SUVs drive past him and when he turned to watch, he swears he saw Biden sitting in the back of one of the SUVs.

There’s a lot of “to do” when a president or vice president moves about town—secret service, police motorcades, street closures, etc. The detailed planning that goes into these operations is immaculate but sometimes can cause headaches to other motorists.

The AOTA President doesn’t travel with secret service men or presidential motorcades, but it definitely isn’t every day that you have the opportunity to meet and chat with your president. At Student Conclave, you will not only have the opportunity to hear AOTA President Penny Moyers Cleveland deliver the keynote address, but you will also have the chance to meet her and talk to her at lunch and throughout the Conclave.

President Penny Moyers Cleveland will also be presenting a session entitled “A Commitment to Leadership” where she and two other AOTA leaders will share their wisdom and stories about leadership and how you can be a part of the next generation of leaders in your profession.

As an added bonus, watch this video to hear your personal presidential invite to Student Conclave.
