We need your attendance at the 2009 Policy Forum to help educate the new Congress about O&P before they start making decisions that will affect you and your patients!

What is the Policy Forum?
* The Policy Forum is an important two-day event that will give the O&P profession the opportunity to educate the new Congress before they begin making decisions on health care reform, Medicare, parity and all the issues important to our profession.  
* The Opportunity to be “in the know,” and learn about important pending regulatory and legislative policies. 
* AOPA will make sure you are well-prepared to meet with your member of Congress. AOPA will even make your appointment for you.
