Greetings AOM Members and Colleagues: Seasonal changes always bring to the forefront the cycle of life - endings and new beginnings, whatever the season we’re approaching; each invigorates to spur our growth. Over the past six weeks, as I have worked for the AAAOM, we as an organization not only see the transition of seasonal climates, but also we see a change in an upcoming season of health care. The change occurring is not one reflective of autumn, but rather a new threshold of opportunity and progression. Spearheading and leading this progress, the AAAOM and its membership are working together to take advantage of the many opportunities that arise daily from our healthcare reform efforts. The AAAOM has many working parts within its Board of Directors - from the National Government Affairs Committee, which works on political legislation and issues nationwide, to the Fundraising Committee responsible for all aspects of resource development, to bylaws that address shifts in governance, or the AAAOM-SO that promotes and sculpts the future professionals of AOM. Collaboratively, the AAAOM Board of Directors is a dedicated council of practitioners that truly work on behalf of its constituency…you. These moving parts, together with the voice of the membership, are the means by which the profession of AOM will supersede even our own expectations in terms of politics, patient numbers, and health care reform. What can you do to take a more active part?
In this edition we report the following items:
