Message from the President
Greetings BST members,
Natalie Thomas, our Program Chair, has done a final call for
papers and presentations for our October conference. Please
submit yours! She has a wonderful program lined up for us in our
favorite venue, Salado's Stagecoach Inn. Mark your calendar.
We are having our next Board Meeting in Salado as well to
finalize the conference details on May 16th. Board Members
please plan on attending!
We continue with our outreach to students and other
disciplines including the Texas Occupational Therapy
Association. If you have connections and contacts, please refer
them to our website and BST membership. Let's continue to spread
the word!
For those of you that went to the AAPB in New Mexico, I hope
you had a grand time, learned new skills and made connections.
Lora Chandler continues to advocate for the Texas Biofeedback
Society at these events and we appreciate her doing so!!
I hope this message finds you happy and healthy as well as
doing well in biofeedback. I have been blessed in my current
position at Pate Rehabilitation doing biofeedback for persons
with brain injuries. If you are having trouble on the job hunt,
check out our website. Use the links to our partners like the
BCIA. They have job postings regularly. The BST members are also
a wonderful resource!
The BST Board is looking forward to a successful October
Conference. It will be our 35th Annual BST Conference in
beautiful Salado, Texas. See you there!!
