Membership Campaign – Fall 2009

Membership Campaign – Fall 2009
Roll Back -> Rise up -> Reach Out
Three R's of Sustainable Advocacy

AOM's grassroots advocacy is growing exponentially. By working together, we are now at a threshold of unlimited opportunities that will both expand our patient numbers and accessibility to them. This can only be furthered by making sure we are heard in US healthcare reform.

This is a future we share - membership is the core of all advocacy. In these challenging economic times, the door to AOM's future is wide open. It is vital that in growing a strong national association with sufficient resources to face the continuous challenges of this campaign, we equally grow the core of our profession - our state associations. To meet this opportunity we're rolling back our membership dues with the deepest discounts allocated to our dual professional membership categories. "Dual categories" are where members joining the AAAOM already hold membership in their state associations.

We ask you to rise up to the challenge and reach out to give your membership support. Our unity forms the pillars upon which the future of AOM stands. Please, we ask you to reach beyond yourself as well, communicate with your peers that the time is now. It's a human right for the patient's we serve to have access to AOM as a medical modality and to have our services covered by insurance. Let's break all records and grow our membership (state and national) to a position of strength where, across the nation, the force of our combined presence is felt, seen and heard!

What does your Membership and Monetary contribution do for the AAAOM?
The AAAOM is the means by which political battles that are hindering the progression of AOM are going to be won. Your membership…your voice is one more cornerstone in solidifying the bridge between alternative care to mainstream care. Your membership dollars go towards the AAAOM's national campaign and lobbying in order to ensure AOM's seat in US healthcare reform and the healthcare delivery system. Here's our track record for the first 90 days with our second 90-day report due in October. To view member benefits, refer to the AAAOM Member Benefit's page on our website, and click the appropriate member category.

What does AOM Advocacy really mean?
Advocacy means that we are fighting for you, your colleagues, the AOM businesses that support you and your patients by doing everything in our power to advance and protect the integrity and traditions of this ancient medicine for generations to come.
