Hello everyone and welcome to the Government Affairs edition of Current
Pedorthics. As it turns out, this has become somewhat of a retail edition,
also. Several good articles on retail and inventory were submitted, happily by
pedorthists, and so Rob and I felt that we should get them into print right away
for you to enjoy.
The 57th Annual Symposium will be about to occur when this reaches most of
you. We included links to some handy materials for you such as a venue map
and the program and course descriptions. You will also notice that we included
the booth number on the ad of every advertiser that is also showing at the
Symposium. Rob and I look forward to seeing all of you there. If you are reading
this after you return, we hope you had a great time and that we got to chat with
you a bit.
Don’t miss out on the latest
announcements and current
topics we’re discussing on social
media 24/7.

This is a time of change for PFA. With sadness I say that this is the last issue
of CP that I will have the honor of co-editing with Rob. I will be editing on
my own from now on. I can't begin to express my gratitude to Rob for helping
me get prepared to take on this responsibility. Rob oversaw the conversion of
CP from a simple print publication to this online format which is ripe with
opportunities for advertisers to utilize sound, video and interactivity. These are
just not possible in the world of print and I am looking forward to the day when
our advertisers really embrace this and wow you with amazing content in their
ads.
The largest change that the Symposium brings is that this is the time each year
that marks the end of the terms for the Board of Directors. Special thanks to Ben
Nebroski as he departs from the Board. This also marks the end of Rob's term as
president. His presidency has been far more trying than most were. He inherited
an organization in dire straights and through his leadership, tenacity and fight,
brought it back. This was done with the assistance of a truly committed group of
individuals that comprises the PFA Board of Directors. We all owe them a huge
debt of gratitude as they continue to operate PFA as volunteer staff.
Please enjoy this issue of CP. As always, I look forward to your suggestions and
contributions! We all have something we do differently or an idea that varies
from, or expands upon, that of our peers. Share yours!
