Welcome to 2012! We hope that your year has started well. Thank-you to all of our members who have completed the surveys that we emailed over the past 2 months. The results of our latest survey regarding our future involvement with CPA Congress, Symposium, or a combination thereof will be available shortly. Highlights of the results of our first survey in November 2011 revealed the following: slight majority voted to resume our old format of holding an orthopaedic symposium; overwhelming majority would like to see a full day of orthopaedic programming pre-or-post CPA Congress….as you can see here, our situation is not resolved yet. There are mixed opinions amongst the membership as to what direction the division should be heading with respect to our annual educational programming. This is why we sent out a second, more pointed, survey. As an executive, we want to solicit the opinion of our valued members in order to make an informed and democratic decision. Hopefully the results of the second survey and discussions with CPA will assist us in doing that. We have the best interests of our members in mind.
