AOTI Membership Matters Newsletter February 2026
Dear AOTI Members,
In December 2025, AOTI turned 60 which is an incredible milestone – 60 years of representing and supporting Occupational Therapists in Ireland. To celebrate this achievement, 2026 will be a special anniversary year filled with celebratory events and opportunities to reflect on the profession’s journey over the last 60 years.
As Chairperson of Association of Occupational Therapists of Ireland, I am delighted to support the celebration of the 60th Anniversary of our remarkable organisation. The 60th anniversary committee has developed a great programme of events to showcase the journey so far and to celebrate our achievements. Click here to see the highlights of what we have planned.
I sincerely hope that you can join us by attending some of the events, sharing our achievements and being proud of the evolution of AOTI from humble beginning 60 years ago to the vibrant organisation that we are proud to be part of today.
This is a wonderful moment for AOTI and I am exceptionally proud to be a member of this organisation. As Chairperson I look forward to supporting the profession, our members and the people they serve into the future.
We look forward to celebrating this special anniversary year with you and honouring the incredible impact of Occupational Therapy in Ireland over the past 60 years. Please let us know if you would like to be involved in planning our celebrations or have any further suggestions.
Yours sincerely,
Genevieve O’Halloran
Chairperson of AOTI
