Adam MillerBy Adam Miller, President, OPGA

By the time you are reading this, OPGA will be at this year’s Academy Annual Meeting in Chicago.

Conferences such as Academy afford us the opportunity to accomplish so many things. We look forward to productive meetings with several current and prospective supplier partners to explore new and creative ways for our members to save or create new revenue streams with exciting new products and technologies. I also look forward to meeting with O&P stakeholders to get updates on legislation and initiatives to further our profession. What is most impactful to me is the time I get to spend getting to know and connect face-to-face with many of our valued OPGA members, which is the most important component of what we do. I get the opportunity to learn about your business, find out what is important to you, hear the struggles you face, and strive to develop ways that OPGA can help. 

If you’re at Academy this week, be sure to stop by our booth #1315 to discover the savings and solutions available to you as an OPGA member!

As always, thanks for all you do for our profession, the patients you serve, and supporting OPGA and our supplier partners so we can continue to support you. 
 Adam Miller

President, OPGA
