One of the challenges of our profession is that there is very little data about who we are, what we do and where we are working. Without a documentable presence, itās difficult to advocate for funding and policies that benefit our work. Your profile will both help promote your work individually and it will help us aggregate data for our region. As you fill in the blanks below, you will have a choice as to who is allowed to see some of the information. Please note that the āJust Meā option does allow TAMA administration to see what youāve entered. For example, when you enter your phone number, you can prevent that from appearing in your profile if you like, but TAMA administration can see it.
