The event was coordinated by Dr. Angela Thomas-David, associate dean and professor of Occupational Therapy at ASU, who also serves as the president of the National Society of Allied Health (NSAH).

 

Thomas-David said that the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) majority organization is composed of Allied Healthcare professionals, including participating university’s faculty and staff, and various other practitioners in the field.

 

“Our professional membership organization is committed to improving the health status of Black citizens and marginalized populations across the nation through community service, education, employment and robust research since its inception in 1974,” Thomas-David said. “Myself and the NSAH board are thankful to ASU President, Dr. Quinton T. Ross, Jr., his leadership team and so many others for support and donations, which made this meeting possible.”

 

WELCOME FROM THE UNIVERSITY 

 

Representing ASU on March 31, at the opening session that was held in the Buskey building’s Denise Chapman Auditorium, was Colonel Gregory Clark (retired), who serves as the vice president of Institutional Advancement.

 

Clark, a United States Army veteran, told the assembled professionals that his service to the nation made him most appreciative of all that they contribute to the welfare of the country. He was present to bring greetings on behalf of ASU President Ross and the ASU Board of Trustees.

 

“As a 33-year veteran of the U.S. Army, no one appreciates Allied Healthcare professionals more than the members of the nation’s armed services,” Clark stated. “As a small gesture of our appreciation of this national event being held on our historic campus, we were honored to sponsor a reception in their honor at our newest entertainment venue, The Nest, which is located beside The ASU Stadium.”
