NATIONAL REPORT

Editorial Note: The following excerpt derives from the ASNY newsletter and is printed here with ASNY permission.

In October, ASNY attended the AAAOM conference in Chicago. We met with other state leaders in the Council of Presidents meeting and participated in the reorganization of their structure and relationship to the AAAOM. Michael Jabbour (V.P.) joined the AAAOM bylaws committee to help them refine their goals and missions. We also met privately with the legislative director of the AAAOM and discussed how to best move forward with the Hinchey Medicare _ FECA bill.

In November, ASNY spoke, along with NYSAC and the United Alliance of Professional Acupuncturists at the ATCMS Summit conference in Flushing, Queens. We also met with and spoke with representatives from the Washington, DC political community.
