AAOP: Join a Committee That Will Never Meet

The American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists (AAOP) is looking for a few good persons to join a committee that will never meet-at least face-to-face, according to Tom Gorski, CAE, Academy executive director.

The Town Hall Committee is the Academy's first electronic committee and will be asked to provide feedback to the Academy on issues presented by the Board of Directors, Gorski said. Committee members will not meet in the traditional sense. Instead, participants will likely be contacted two to three times during the year exclusively by e-mail requesting their viewpoint on an issue or asking them to respond within 72 hours to a survey. All communication will be by e-mail, Gorski said.

Academy members interested in becoming part of the committee need to contact William W. Schumann, CPO, by June 20, Gorski said. Schumann can be contacted by e-mail: bschumann@oandp.org

Schumann was asked by Academy President Frank H. Bostock, MBA, CO, FAAOP, to chair the "virtual committee" and help develop its role in offering opinions on issues, activities, or operational initiatives.

"This is an exciting way to have the benefit of a committee without the expense and time commitments associated with holding meetings," Schumann said. "Having the committee act as a rapid response group will provide the Board with valuable insight and understanding in a fraction of time most surveys normally take," he predicted. "The Board is interested in direct input from the members on all critical issues."
