MEMBERSPOTLIGHT
I was greeted by other pedorthists and a collection of
other professionals. It seemed they were all working
towards a common goal to promote our profession,
my profession, Pedorthics. I found that the PFA was
an organization that championed their members by
providing the resources, bonding members together as
they advocated for their peers and shared their chal-
lenges and triumphs with one another. They all were
informed about our industry and had that competitive
advantage in our world.
W
anting to be more than just a member, I want-
ed to join the Board of Directors and volunteer
my time. It was hectic and hard to do, but I wanted
to help make a difference in Pedorthics. I wanted to
become an active part of informing our Members about
their industry. I found out after becoming a Board
Member that all the Board of Directors lead busy pro-
fessional lives and they were very committed to discov-
ering and sharing industry trends, watchdogging new
legislative rulings, and promoting advancements in
technology and the Association as a whole. And each of
them, like me, gave up our personal time to do so. The
PFA is a unique organization allowing you to network
with your peers, mentors and other industry leaders.
