President's Message 2022
Hello, DARTS Members!
My name is Katie Farrand and I am the new president for DARTS for 2022 and 2023. I would like to take this time to thank Dr. Alice Hammel, past president, for her service as president and her continued leadership with DARTS. Alice will be presenting a virtual webinar titled, Why Can’t They Just Sit Still and Listen? Addressing ADHD Myths and Realities on November 9, 2022 from 5-6 PM (ET). This webinar is free to DARTS members as a member benefit. Non-members are also encouraged to attend and to join DARTS.
