Involvement in Your State Association | Revisit New Year’s Resolution | October Conference

The Indiana Podiatric Medical Association annual state conference is scheduled to begin October 14, 2010. I am proud to be on the roster of speakers and presenters. The online registration makes attending even easier for you.

The summer season is winding down. Kids are back in school, the gardens are almost ended, other harvest time projects are lining up so that we have a moment to catch up with intentions and plans that may have been pushed toward the end of the list. Some of us still need to exercise more, eat better, listen better. Or, as I wrote in a post at PodiatryToday.com earlier, get involved with your state association.

Questions about why you don’t attend were posed in the PodiatryToday.com article. Is the cost an issue? Or the location at the Hyatt Regency in Indianapolis? The program? Only you can answer these questions and seek a solution. You are an important part of the podiatry community , particularly in Indiana. If you need help to lower costs, ask someone to brainstorm with you. If you know of a better location, attend and bring that up for next year. Your involvement influences the program — the planners want to give you beneficial programming.

A complaint got me involved and I’ve gained from the experience in many aspects, not the least of which is the chance to make connection with you and others to strengthen my practice. And between us, strengthen the service offered by the podiatric community.

You have time to make a difference for yourself and the association. Follow through on that New Year’s Resolution to become involved and take advantage of the beautiful October season in Indianapolis. Register today. See you there!
