OCCUPATIONAL BALANCE OPTIONSOne of the unique features of SSO:USA conferences is the attention devoted to networking, balance, and quality of participants’ experiences. Researchers should leave an SSO:USA conference refreshed and stimulated. Conference break blocks, with a range of occupational balance options reflecting local culture, encourage attendees to rejuvenate while exploring unique experiences in the area. See here our exciting 2019 collection of Occupational Balance Options. Look for yourself to see all this area has to offer!
SILENT AUCTIONThe Society holds an annual silent auction at conference to facilitate student scholarship in occupational science. Donated items collected prior to the annual conference support this activity. Consistent with the mission of the Society, proceeds from the Silent Auction foster the development of researchers by funding student research projects and presentations on the study of occupation. The auction began with the efforts by Dr. Phyllis Meltzer to obtain donations of hand crafted and artful objects for fund-raising in support of the work of SSO:USA. The auction has expanded to include a wide range of items and opportunities, whose auction proceeds support student research in the study of occupation. The society welcomes donations of artful handmade objects as well as other items such as gift certificates, books, jewelry, vouchers for trips or vacation stays, souvenirs of the conference location, etc. Please consider donating an item for the auction this year! Kindly complete the auction item description form, with details of the item and donor. Any stories about the item, what it is made of, its meaning, or its creator are appreciated. You will receive a tax-deductible receipt for your donation. Please let us know about your donation by September 15, 2019, though we will continue to accept items until the opening of the Silent Auction. Please plan to bring your auction item(s) with you to Scottsdale and enter them at the conference registration table. If you have any questions about the silent auction, you may contact the Silent Auction Coordinator, Linda Buxell, at [email protected].
