AAFP membership fee proposal

[Guest guest]

I posted a bit ago about taking a proposal for the AAFP to consider restructuring their membership fees given many on the list have stated they aren't members given the high fees. And as small practices we need to stay involved and vocal in these types of groups or decisions will be made without us. Thanks to all who gave input.

I took the following to my local King County AFP meeting and the resolution was adopted and will be taken to the Washington state AFP meeting in May.

Thanks to Don for his support and encouragement of me both before and during the meeting!

If anyone would like to copy and take to their own chapters, please feel free. I've attatched it here. With more folks the more likely to have impact. I really do believe we need to be active voices to keep small practices in the conversation.

It was published the next month, and then a couplemonths later, I had a nice conversation with a doc who was interestedin my practice and IMP after having read and saved my letter. Goodstuff.
