New York State Chapter
American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists

Urgent Appeal to New York State O & P Practitioners
Marty Mandelbaum CPO, Treasurer
We, the NYSAAOP board, volunteer and work hard to:
    * Promote professional ethics and standards through communication and
educational programs.
    * Offer quality educational programs on a local level in order to keep
travel and related costs to a minimum.
    * Promote the field of orthotics and prosthetics through athletic
sponsorship to individuals.
    * Communicate relevant state and national O&P news
    * Pursue New York State Licensure for Orthotic & Prosthetic Services.
It takes a great deal of effort to plan the continuing education programs
that are put forth each year. All we ask is that you support us in our
efforts, at the very least, by attending the meetings! This October 22-23 meeting
 has very low registrations as many of us tend to wait until the last minute
to sign up.
However, what you may not realize is that we have to plan and pay for the
meeting rooms, and the cut off date to make changes is this week.
Therefore, we need to know how to adjust rooms, food and other expenses
accordingly.
So please.... If you are planning to attend, let Joann know immediately.
Also, if you were not planning on attending, please re-think the benefits of
local CEU's and the support of your local professional organization.
PLACE: LaGuardia Airport Marriott, East Elmhurst, NY still has rooms
available. 1-800-882-1043

Every New York State O & P Practitioner Needs to read this Bulletin
Glen Case, CPO, President Elect
We Urgently need your support of attendance at this meeting for numerous
reasons. The current number of enrolled practitioners is extremely low, too
low in fact to be able to financially proceed. If this occurs a substantial
monetary penalty will be incurred by the academy, which as you know has quite
limited funds. This will ultimately jeopardize our ability to progress with
what I feel are important issues such as, state licensure and continuing
education seminars. We need to achieve the necessary number of participants at
this meeting which means that you need to react.
My question to all of you is why not get involved? We need you to get
motivated and to work in a collaborative effort to make NYSAAOP powerful and
effective. You and I must start to work in unison to the benefit of the common good
of all within this state if we have any chance to be in practice in the
coming years.

We need more attendees by Monday Oct. 9 by 5 PM to register, for this
program to continue.
