Text:
I have been watching and listening with anger and disgust all of the politics
with merging to one board. ABC believes in their minds that all of the
people with ABC certification don't have a vote in the organization. We may not be
able to vote directly like BOC can, but I can and will vote with my
membership dues the next time I am required to pay my dues. At this time I feel like
I have been shammed by ABC. At this point in time I do not think I am
getting my money's worth from that accreditation board. Do you think that JACHO
would continue to exist if they pulled a similar stunt with another accreditation
board? Probably not! They pay their dues to JACHO to get a return on
investment. Hospitals would immediately use their available cash in a more
constructive way. I believe I will do the same by paying my state licensure fees.
With state licenser ABC or BOC certification is a luxury item. I paid my ABC
dues because I was proud to call myself a CPO. Remember WE are the consumers
that have the cash (dues) that ABC wants. If we withhold our dues, they will
listen or perish!
I am still proud to say that I have completed Northwestern Certificate
Programs and NCOPE residency!!!!
