Myrtle Beach, SC-September 29, 2008-The UpperEx National Outreach Coalition
(UNOC) today announced that they have elected five new members to their
board of directors. The newly elected leaders bring years of knowledge,
experience, and upper extremity expertise from both the practitioner and
patient side to this young and fast growing organization.

 

We are excited to welcome these talented and passionate people to the
board, said Eric Westover, Chairman and CEO. They each bring great
strengths to our organization and have made a commitment to better the
amputee community through their service. I look forward to the generous
contributions they will continue to make as volunteer leaders of UpperEx.

 

The new members are:

 

Randy Alley: Mr. Alley is CEO and Chief Prosthetist for Biodesigns, Inc..
Mr. Alley has over 16 years of experience exclusively working with upper
extremity patients. He is an adjunct professor at Cal State Dominquez Hill's
