OPAF Seeking Nominations for Board of Directors
September 9, 2020 – OPAF & The First Clinics, serving as the philanthropic
arm of the US Orthotic & Prosthetic Community has begun its annual search
for individuals who would like to participate within the O & P community
through service on the OPAF Board of Directors. Board members serve a one
or two year term and are required to attend at least one of the two face to
face or virtual board meetings held normally in conjunction with the AOPA
and Academy national meetings. Additionally, directors are expected to be
vitally involved in the ongoing work of OPAF & First Clinics with adaptive
recreation and to take an active role with all of our fundraising efforts.
With a change in focus during the pandemic the OPAF Board is working to
ensure that OPAF's mission continues far into the future.
We are a self nominating and volunteer board, indicating both your
willingness and enthusiasm to serve.
Nominees should have an appropriate background, a history of 501(c)(3)
nonprofit committee/volunteer work (preferred, but not required) alongside
a familiarity with and dedication to fundraising, and a strong commitment
to the primary mission of the Fund: to foster physical fitness, community
participation, and peer interaction by providing introductory-level
adaptive recreation for individuals with physical and mobility challenges.
Life-changing experiences are provided through individual participation and
training, education of healthcare professionals, and raising public
awareness on a national level.
Nomination materials which include a personal letter of interest and a
resume are due to the OPAF President by September 23, 2020 Elections take
in October 2020 and board terms of service will begin on December 1, 2020.
Email the personal letter of interest and resume to OPAF Board of Directors
