I am honored to serve the O&P profession as executive director of the Academy. O&P professionals provide a valuable service to an ever-growing and diverse patient population. I look forward to growing the profession by aligning the Academy with other public health organizations to ensure that O&P professionals are seen as valued members of the healthcare team. said Griffen.
Sarah Thomas, CPO, FAAOP, Academy president, is excited about the Academy's future. The Academy board and I are thrilled to have Adriane as the organization's new executive director.
