Dear Colleagues:
The release concerning the recently adopted Alabama
Licensure law should also add special thanks to Rick
Partain, BOC O/P and Tommy Bain, BOC-COF who worked
hard along with us to accomplish this great step
forward for our professionals in this state. Their
time, thoughts and effort are well remembered.
Additionally, Ken Wells, BOC made several trips up to
Alabama from his workplace in Tallahassee to assist us
in working out the wording on several sections of the
bill. Ken is involved with IAOP and his help was
extraordinary and much appreciated.
I know that I am undoubtedly leaving out even more
people who worked with us for the past several years
and to each of them I apologize, but they should all
know their assistance was much appreciated.
We know that the real work is just beginning and we
look forward to dialogues with our fellow
professionals from other licensed states as we try to
avoid some of the pitfalls and difficulties they have
already faced. If anyone from any of the other
licensure states reads this, will you please help us
get up to date copies of your rules, regulations and
forms for application? E-mail them to me if possible,
please.
Thanks to all,
Joseph C. Elliott, CP
Sec/Treas, Alabama Prosthetists
& Orthotists Association,
Member, Gov’t. Relations Committee
