Video Transcription

Video Summary

The AAOE Council Chair plays a pivotal role in advancing AAOE's mission through leading efforts in orthopedic and musculoskeletal practice management. The training emphasizes the significance of combining real-world expertise with strategic support from board and staff liaisons to address common challenges, such as staffing and regulatory requirements. Council Chairs need not be experts in association management but should leverage their practice-specific knowledge to help AAOE identify and address industry pain points through resources, tools, and networking. Key policies, including antitrust, anti-harassment, conflict of interest, and confidentiality, are crucial for maintaining a professional, inclusive environment. Councils align their projects with AAOE's annual goals and are advised to manage them using project status worksheets. This is an opportunity for Council Chairs to shape AAOE's future by influencing policy, fostering innovation, and strengthening member engagement and benefits.
