Volunteer Voices: Spotlight on Ron Chorzewski

Today’s Volunteer Voice is Ron Chorzewski. He was recently recognized on our social media platforms for his service on the AAOE Advocacy Council.  Ron is the CEO of Agility Orthopedics in Stoneham, Massachusetts. We are thankful for his many years of ongoing leadership and dedication to AAOE.  Appreciation to Ron for sharing the following with us:

What made you decide to volunteer with the Advocacy Council and what words of encouragement do you have for others that may consider doing so?

I have been a long-time volunteer with the AAOE.  I find participation in committees facilitates the new relationships that make being a member so valuable.  If you want to look forward to coming to the 2026 AAOE Annual Conference to meet people you have learned to love and respect through committee work, then I highly recommend that you volunteer. My service makes me feel informed, impactful, and prepared.

Which AAOE member benefit do you use most and why?

My most valuable member benefit is the incredible network of friends I have developed through the years.  It is so comforting to know that I do not need to have all of the answers when I have a network of really smart people standing behind me; willing to help for no other reason than someone did the same for them.

Why are you enthusiastic about the orthopedic practice profession?

My enthusiasm is the result of a strong desire to be a good employer, to be supportive of my providers, and to provide the opportunity for every patient to have a life changing experience.  Being a practice administrator requires me to be facile in dozens of different skill sets.  I love that and appreciate that the AAOE helps to fill in my knowledge gaps.

Gratitude to Ron for all he does for the profession and our association!
