title: Collaborating for political action.
abstract: Students involved in this university-state association collaboration have expressed excitement in helping to create progressive changes for occupational therapists and their consumers. After graduation, many of these students have continued their participation in IOTA's legislative committee and have assumed leadership roles in other IOTA activities. IOTA has benefited from this collaboration in terms of improved responsiveness during the legislative stage of an issue's life cycle.
