Where are you?  What are you doing?  Where are you working?  Are you a new grad?  If so, how do you feel about entering the profession, especially here in Maine?  And here is the BIG ONE....Are you planning on getting involved with your state organization?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The MATA is eager for new people to become involved.  "Young blood" is needed.  We want you!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are not sure if you want to participate in the MATA...please let us know why.  Give your input.  If you can't come to meetings (though there are only 2 a year), post here and let your opinions be know.  Or for a more private venue...email an executive board member.  Their email address can be found on the MATA website (&lt;a href="http://www.gomata.org/"&gt;www.gomata.org&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of all...SPEAK UP!!!</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.gomata.org/2008/08/gearing-up-for-fall-where-are-all-young.html' title='Gearing up for the Fall - Where are all the &quot;Young Professionals&quot;'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5490407084437317651&amp;postID=3655101598699144506' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.gomata.org/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5490407084437317651/posts/default/3655101598699144506'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5490407084437317651/posts/default/3655101598699144506'/><author><name>Gina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11052806701257143431</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490407084437317651.post-341195978338902841</id><published>2008-05-06T11:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-06T11:55:44.910-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Off we go...</title><content type='html'>Hello. This is the first post to the new official blog for the Maine Athletic Trainers Association. This will be an evolving entity, so if you have input as to what we should talk about here just let me know. We will focus on issues related to certified athletic trainers in Maine and around the country. We will also address issues of sports safety...hence the title of the blog. I am new to this...so be patient and give feedback often...it will be used.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.gomata.org/2008/05/off-we-go.html' title='Off we go...'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5490407084437317651&amp;postID=341195978338902841' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.gomata.org/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5490407084437317651/posts/default/341195978338902841'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5490407084437317651/posts/default/341195978338902841'/><author><name>Gina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11052806701257143431</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry></feed>
