PEDORTHIC FOOTCARE ASSOCIATION
ABOUT PFA
The Pedorthic Footcare Association
(PFA), founded in 1958, is the not-for-
profit professional association which
represents the interests of the certified
and/or licensed pedorthist and
supports the pedorthic profession
at large.
Through PFA’s efforts, pedorthics –
the management and treatment of
conditions of the foot, ankle, and lower
extremities requiring fitting,
fabricating, and adjusting of pedorthic
devices – is a well-established allied
health profession which makes an
invaluable contribution to public
health.
A
s I sit here in my office and
reflect on 2019, I can’t help
but wonder where the time has gone.
It seems that only yesterday, I was
beginning my discussions with the
Board of Directors on the planning of
the Annual Symposium and making
plans for all the tasks we wanted to
tackle in the new year.
Well, the symposium is over, our goals
and objectives for 2019 have all been
tackled, and now we are well into the
planning for 2020. We have increased
our membership and our social media
presence, increased our symposium
revenues and attendance numbers,
and improved our member benefits’
programs. All in all, a great year for
the PFA! We could not have done
any of this without you, our mem-
bers. You are the ones that helped us
MISSION
achieve these goals and improve the
organization.
As we have closed out 2019, here is
a big Thank You from all of us at
PFA’s headquarters and the Board of
Directors! We are excited for what
2020 is going to produce next for PFA
and our members. In closing, from
all of us at the PFA, we wish you the
happiest of holidays this season. We
look forward to continued growth and
prosperity for our members and as an
organization in the New Year.
PFA’s mission is to enhance the
effectiveness and efficiency of
credentialed providers of lower
extremity pedorthic modalities through
education; increase the demand for
services through marketing; and
promote the right to practice through
government affairs activities.
