Meeting ID: 277 058 715 593 5

Reminder about the AAOE Anti-Trust Policy, Anti-Harassment Policy, and Volunteer Leadership Agreement (NDA)

Vision: To become the world's authority on the business of orthopedic & musculoskeletal care.
Mission: To promote quality healthcare practice management in the orthopedic & musculoskeletal industries.

Goals:

  1. Research one new AAOE initiative that would really add value for our members (maybe mentoring, leadership academy, etc.). We'd start this in Q1 2026 when our staff team can dive in fully, then present what we find to the Board.
  2. Push the Member-Get-a-Member Campaign forward by getting 80-90% of us participating, plus about 25% of the other Council members, reaching at least 30 total members in the campaign and welcoming at least 30 new members because of our efforts.
  3. Hit a net membership of +325 by April 30, 2026.
