The School of Occupational Therapy Community Building Workshops were established in 2001 to celebrate the professional ccommunity that surrounds and supports the School, showcase emerging and established area expertise, and to provide a vehicle for networking to foster collaborations between the professional resources of this regional occupational therapy community.

The 2009 Workshop took place February 6 on the Dallas Presbyterian campus in conjunction with the 16th Vanderkooi Endowed Lecturship.
