From the President

Dear Roy G Biv,
Dear Roy G Biv,
In 2023, much like the changing colors of the seasons, Impact journeyed through the rainbow, exhibiting the variability of its beautiful hues through content that spanned the spectrum.
How fortunate I am to be the next Committee Chair to write an article for Impact Magazine! What better issue to write about leadership, and the role of the Nominating Committee (NC) for APTA Private Practice, than the Gold Issue! Gold is an iconic symbol of leadership exemplified in the Golden Rule of Leadership, the Golden Circle of Leadership, and the original Golden Rule.
Upon sitting down to write this editor’s letter I was overwhelmed with which direction to take this message given the rich variety of topics that the color gold lends itself. Gold standard? Sure, that seems like the easy route for a physical therapist. Gold riches? Perhaps that might resonate with a bunch of entrepreneurs. Worth its weight in gold? Easy play for likening to the idea of cherishing teams and the autonomy. But nothing landed and I found myself frustrated with where to start. And to boot, this is the SHOW issue. While I realize that means little to the average APTA Private Practice member, in Impact terms, the “show issue” is the most coveted issue of the year and requires the finest level of detailed review and content. Yep, no pressure Kristen.
Dear Friends,
