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.
MISSION
Let me start this message off by once again saying
thank you on behalf of myself and the entire PFA
Board of Directors for helping to make our 59th
Annual Symposium a success! St. Louis was one of
the best symposia yet with many of you spending
time with our vendors and writing new business,
taking advantage of the networking events and,
of course, learning from some of the best faculty
we have had in years. We sold out of rooms at the
hotel, had record attendance, and had many glowing
reviews from our members! Needless to say, I was
very happy to receive such great feedback from all
who were involved!
So, with that, we move on to the coming year and
the planning of our 60th in Las Vegas. I hope that all
of you will make plans to attend as we anticipate the
Vegas show to be even bigger and more extravagant!
Faculty has been selected and we once again have a
group of phenomenal speakers from across the coun-
try and the world! I promise this is a symposium you
won’t want to miss!
Additionally, the PFA leadership is working very hard
to bring our members better continuing education
opportunities, more member benefits, and opportu-
nities to grow as a pedorthist. The entire Board of
