Welcome to the Therapeutic Recreation Advocacy in Arizona and Legislative Movement, better known as the TRAIAL Committee! We are a subcommittee of ASTRA that supports current advocacy and legislative efforts on behalf of Recreation Therapists in the state of Arizona. TRAIAL was formed in November 2016 as a result of legislative forum held by ASTRA in which our members expressed a need for further advocacy efforts on behalf of Recreation Therapists in the state of Arizona. The TRAIAL subcommittee hopes to eventually pursue licensure to safeguard the profession in the state of Arizona from a professional, as well as, consumer standpoint. We welcome any and all inquiries. Our Legislative Chair, Savannah Geare can be reached by the contact information provided on the Board of Directors tab above. We are always looking for support. Look into our blog below, share us on social media, and participate in upcoming TRAIAL events!
